Join 10C and Mike from Tri-City Bee Rescue for an informative workshop on Urban Beekeeping,

This in-class workshop is perfect for beginners and bee enthusiasts looking to learn about sustainable beekeeping in an urban environment. You’ll gain insight into bee biology, hive management, and the benefits of adding honeybees to your backyard, as well as practical tips for setting up and maintaining a hive in the city. Whether you’re interested in just learning a bit more or starting your own beekeeping journey, this workshop will provide the knowledge and experience and attention to detail to be a good neighbour and set up for success! 

Mike Barber is the owner and founder of Tri-City Bee Rescue, a company dedicated to the ethical rescue and relocation of honeybees, native bees and wasps. With 13 years of experience, Mike has been a passionate advocate for pollinator conservation, specializing in safely removing and rehoming bee colonies from homes and businesses where they can’t coexist with the humans or pets in those spaces. 

Under his leadership, Tri-City Bee Rescue has become a trusted name in the community, providing education on sustainable beekeeping and the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. Mike’s hands-on approach and deep knowledge of bee behavior ensure that every rescue is conducted with care and expertise, prioritizing both the bees’ well-being and the safety of property owners.

When he’s not rescuing bees, Mike is committed to spreading awareness through workshops and public outreach, helping others appreciate and support these essential pollinators.
