The ABC is excited to announce that we are nominating 2021 the ‘Year of the Beekeeper’The ‘Year of the Beekeeper’ aims to recognize and celebrate the amazing passion and commitment Alberta beekeepers and their families invest in ensuring our bees are healthy, our industry is sustainable, and all Canadians and the world can enjoy the amazing flavours and benefits of pure Alberta honey.
To highlight this, each month we will be featuring a new image of beekeepers ‘doing what they do best’ on the cover of Alberta Bee News magazine. To do this, we need your support!
The only criteria for images is that they must include people, and must have been taken in Alberta. That’s it!
Ideas for images include historical images of your family beekeeping, beekeeping in the field, the seasonal challenges/highlights of beekeeping in Alberta, unique and beautiful bee yard locations, pulling honey…. The ideas are endless!
So start looking through your photos now, and remember to capture lots of photos throughout the coming season so you can be in the running to have your image featured on the cover of Alberta Bee News magazine, and help to showcase the diversity, passion and expertise of beekeepers and beekeeping in Alberta.
For images that don’t make the cover of Alberta Bee News, don’t fret, we will be sure to highlight submitted images on our social channels throughout the year via Facebook and Instagram.
