With a reputation for delicious wildflower honey and a prolific wild blueberry industry, Atlantic Canada has bountiful opportunities for beekeepers! Whether you are continuing on your beekeeping journey in the new year or just getting started, membership with your provincial beekeeper association can be a valuable tool.
A New Year for Beekeeping!
All Atlantic beekeeper associations are open for 2023 membership
renewal and registration! Membership to each group is unique, but all present a
community of beekeepers with a breadth of knowledge. Associations typically
come together a few times during the year for small workshops and a culminating
annual convention. These meetings provide interesting educational and networking
opportunities! For example, involvement in your provincial association is a
great way to connect with a mentor or start a pollination relationship with a
wild blueberry producer. Associations are also an excellent platform for
broadening your beekeeping education. For example, annual meetings typically
include guest speakers presenting on relevant new research or offering insight
into their own beekeeping experiences.
Provincial associations can provide useful services and tools, as well. For example, members may organize as a group to place bulk orders on new queen bees for the spring or sugar syrup for fall feeding. Some groups offer access to a shared tools such as a honey extractor. Get involved with your association to find out what resources are available for you.
