Welcome to all those who like to hang with the sweet strippy ones!

Comment by Stephanie Imhoff on July 20, 2014 at 12:42pm: Just wanted to pass along a few links to other beekeeping networks In Vancouver.

The North Shore Bee Club
Membership networking page on Facebook.
This is an informal club that meets 3-4 times a year. Membership is not specifically limited to North Shore residents and it is free to join.

The Richmond Beekeepers Association
$20/ year membership fee (accurate as of 2014)
The meetings are held in Richmond monthly, however, the majority of members are hobbyists spread over the lower mainland.

The Langley Bee Club
This is a formal club that meets monthly in Langley. I understand the membership majority is commercial beekeepers, but hobbyist are certainly welcome too.

Comment by Joe (Wasp) Franco on July 20, 2014 at 8:21am: Thanks for all of the interest! I did find a home for the bees. I will definitely post here again if I have any other homeless honeybees and my swarm list isn't working out.
If you'd like to be placed on our swarm/nest removal list, please fill out the contact form on our "Honeybee Swarm Removal" page (http://www.joewasp.com/honeybee-swarm-removal.html). Thanks!

Comment by Joe (Wasp) Franco on July 19, 2014 at 11:26am: Hello fellow beekeepers!

I have a colony of honeybees that I need to find a home for ASAP. Please give me a call if you'd like them.

Comment by Renee Frappier on June 15, 2012 at 9:23pm: Hello there! I live in East Van, but keep bees in North Van, which presents special challenges. I am interested in knowing others who have apiaries in the area, and exploring what resources are available in North, West and East Vancouver.
