BC Bee Supply

Very knowledgeable folks with a strong service ethic.
Introductory course was very helpful; particularly the "frame-game" which clearly demonstrated the information one can glean from "reading" your frames.
As a newbie I feel I have been well launched!

I have been a customer for years and have only good things to say. Great service and Winston is very knowledgable about all things bees. I only see him once or twice a year but he always remembers my name. Great selection of products, prices, and an easy location. I have purchased hive equipment, tools, New Zealand packages, and local nucs over the years. The NZ bees that came this year are doing fantastic. Recommended.

I wanted to try raising mason bees this year and the staff at BC Bee supply made it really easy and fun. I purchased 100 mason bees and a nice safe home for them. Put the cocoons out about 10 days ago. Peeking inside a few days later I could see the cocoons were being chewed through. Then I started to notice the male bees hovering around outside the house waiting for the queen(s) to wake up
Yesterday there were bees swarming in and out of there like crazy!!! It is honestly one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Love how the males wait around for the queens. Makes me so happy to watch them,
Can't wait to learn about cleaning cocoons in the fall
Thanks in particular to Laurie for hooking me up with all the equipment and answering lots of questions. Thanks to Winston too. You are both so enthusiastic.

If you’re looking for a place to get started in beekeeping then BC Bee Supply is your place. I started beekeeping in 2016 and I have no reason to go anywhere else for my beekeeping needs. It has been such a jewel in Vancouver. Winston and his team are always dedicated to providing beekeepers the best products, advice and service. Their shop is conveniently located, full of everything needed for beekeeping, the prices are excellent, and the quality is top notch. What really sets them ahead of the rest is their passion for their customers. Most recently, I lost a queen in transit and next day got the call from Winston to come by for another queen so the hive doesn’t suffer. They truly care and want beekeepers to succeed. You won’t go wrong with BC Bee Supply.

Without their guidance, I would not be the backyard beekeeper I am today. They’ve been with me every step of the way with top tier products and expert advice. From my first mason bees to my first colony, BC Bee Supply made it easy to get started. The in-yard consultation was such a great value. Thank you!!
