 Community Events

2025 Honey Exchange
A long-standing tradition at BC Bee Supply, the Honey Exchange brings together local beekeepers to share, compare, and taste home-harvested honey. Swapping honey is a great way to engage with other apiarists and see how different floral sources affect flavour and colour.
Expected: Late November – exact date to be confirmed. Registration opens in the fall.

Halloween on the Heights – Honey Hub
Join us at Honey Hub in Burnaby Heights for Halloween evening! We’ll be handing out honey sticks and celebrating with the local community. A great way to connect with the neighbourhood.
