Apiculture (beekeeping) collection

  • F-110
  • Collection
  • [after 1898] - [200-]

The Apiculture (beekeeping) collection is an artificial grouping of documentary materials relating to the methods, science and culture of beekeeping. The collection was established by the SFU Archives as a complement to its other holdings relating to apiculture, such as the fonds of the British Columbia Honey Producers' Association (F-147), and the papers of SFU faculty member Mark Winston (F-174).

The collection consists of publications, conference proceedings, minutes, correspondence, photographs, and moving images. Material includes government publications, correspondence and registers of provincial beekeepers in British Columbia; published research articles, presentations and reports; course outlines and course material relating to the Bee Masters program and honey judging in British Columbia; photographs of various BC beekeeping activities and personalities; copies of meeting minutes and other records of various beekeeping associations in British Columbia and Canada; moving images featuring beekeeping activities and topics; and various subject files relating to the history of beekeeping in BC.

British Columbia Commercial Beekeepers Association

Sub-series primarily comprises copies of records of the annual meetings of the British Columbia Commercial Beekeepers Association. The Association was established around 1962 as an organization of individuals who draw their livelihood primarily from beekeeping or the sale of its products. Its objectives were to promote and develop markets and marketing methods for apiary products, inform members of developments in apiculture research, and participate in the Canadian Beekeepers' Council. The Association appears to have maintained a close relationship with the British Columbia Honey Producers' Association. It disbanded around 1980. Records in this sub-series consist of the Association's constitution, annual meeting minutes, newsletters, and original letterhead.

Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturalists

Sub-series comprises copies of records of the annual meetings of the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturalists. The organization began as the Canadian Association of Apiarists but registered as a professional association in 1975 and changed its name to the current form in that year. It continues as an active organization. The Association promotes cooperation among professional apiculturalists working in agricultural administration, extension or research. Its members generally are employed by federal or provincial governments or universities. The Association maintains a consultative role in relation to the Canadian Honey Council and acts as a liaison with apiculturalists in other countries. Records in this sub-series consist of minutes and proceedings.
