Peace River Bee Club
About Us
Welcome to Peace River Bee Club (PRBC), a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to the art of beekeeping and the vital role of pollinators in our ecosystem. At PRBC, we believe that beekeeping should be accessible, welcoming, and hands-on for everyone, regardless of their experience level.
Our club is more than just a space for beekeeping; it is a place where neighbors unite to cultivate practical skills in beekeeping, foster healthy honey bee colonies, and deepen our understanding of the essential pollinators that nourish our gardens, farms, and natural habitats.
Whether you are a seasoned beekeeper managing multiple colonies, someone with dreams of starting your very first hive, or simply curious about these fascinating insects, there is a welcoming place for you at PRBC.

What We Do
Education That’s Hands-On
We teach real-world beekeeping skills through meetings, workshops, demonstrations, and seasonal learning experiences — with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and confidence-building.
Outreach That Builds Community
PRBC participates in and supports local events, youth learning opportunities, and community education programs that help people understand:
why pollinators matter
how to support them in everyday life
how beekeeping connects to food systems and local ecology
Support for Beekeepers
Beekeeping can be overwhelming alone. PRBC supports members through mentoring, peer learning, troubleshooting help, and shared experiences that make the journey more successful (and more fun).
Who We Serve
PRBC is for:
brand-new beekeepers and the bee-curious
families and youth who learn best through real-life experiences
gardeners and landowners who want healthier blooms and stronger yields
hobbyists and sideliners looking to grow their skills
community partners who want meaningful environmental education programs
You do not need to own bees to be involved.

PRBC is built on:
Accessibility – learning should be available to people from all backgrounds
Community – we grow stronger when we learn together
Stewardship – healthy bees require thoughtful care and responsible practices
Education – we focus on practical skills, not gatekeeping
