Not that I anticipate we'll be seeing honey bees in Lac Le Jeune in the near future, but I wanted to share this excellent website created and maintained by the Kamloops Beekeepers Club.
In particular, this information on what to do if you have a swarm of honey bees on your property is very useful. Above all,
NEVER use a pesticide on bees to remove, kill or scare them away.This BC Ministry Farming, Natural Resources & Industry Apiculture website also has some great resources, including a list of what to plant to provide bee forage. Many of the flowers on this list thrive in our zone.
Order some seeds while you wait for the snow to melt!
