She often came to the apiary and attended the blueberry and bees festival in Pitt Meadows where she photographed us demonstrating a bee beard. The bee beard had a few thousand bees hanging on my mentors face and me working with bare hands. One sting on me from accidently squishing a bee. The reality is that no matter where you live there are bees in your back yard. They are always around. Cheers

My fruit trees and berry bushes have not born any fruit since I planted them 3 years ago. The reason is a lack of bees. We even have beekeeping courses offered in our community and no opportunity to use this skill yet Vancouver urban-dwellers in apartments and densely populated areas are allowed to keep bees. This bylaw needs to be ammended for the good of everyone in the community.

Our berry bushes and fruit trees have never bore any fruit since we moved here 4 years ago. Dense urban areas such as Vancouver are allowed to keep bees even at condos and rooftops and yet we seem to remain in the dark ages on this issue. It is solidly in our best interest. Bees are highly beneficial.

Council and staff are welcome to visit my hives anytime. Honeybees will only sting if provoked. (unlike wasps) I am always amazed at how gentle and non-aggressive they are. Bees are in our urban environment all the time, (mine were collecting pollen in February!) and anyone who is allergic knows to be vigilant and prepared whether there is a hive nearby or not.

Some of the problem is that agricultural land has heavy use of pesticides for food crops that can be detrimental to the bees health. Allowing honey bees a sanctuary in the residential area of Pit Meadows will go a long way in giving hobby beekeepers a place to look after their bees properly and in a healthy environment. Will also give the public a way to connect with natures workings.

In years where bees are a bit scarce, bee keepers will travel from farm to farm, renting out their hives until the work can get done. This allows the crops to pollinate and mature, and as you can see, without it, we would be facing dire straits indeed.
WE NEED MORE BEES!!!
