Hiveworld.ca’s Meet The Beekeeper Field Days are a great way for Edmonton-area beekeepers to gain hands-on experience and have their questions answered in a working bee yard.
Continue to learn along with us this beekeeping season both in-person and live online many Thursdays at 6:00pm MT. We will be coming live to you from our bee yard to share our knowledge in beekeeping and what we are experience this season in real-time. It is live and interactive, so if you have questions it’s a great time to get some answers from us!
