Urban beekeeping in Calgary
Known for its small-town friendliness, Calgary is actually one of Canada’s newest Bee Cities, which means it’s actively working to improve habitat spaces and public education for the city’s busy pollinators. With a broad range of native grasses and wildflowers like gaillardias, blue flax, and wild bergamot, Calgary has everything it needs to become an important beekeeping hub.
