There is a gap in the series until 1979, by which time the newsletter was appearing quarterly, edited by Allan King, and called simply the BCHPA Newsletter. In 1985 the newsletter was re-launched as a new quarterly publication under the name BeeScene. It continues to be published in this form.

Boone Hodgson Wilkinson Trust Fund records

Sub-series comprises records relating to the history, development, and administration of the Boone Hodgson Wilkinson Trust Fund. The BHW Trust Fund was established by BC Provincial Apiarist John Corner at the BCHPA's annual general meeting in 1965. The aim of the Fund was to provide opportunities for the study of apiculture at BC post-secondary institutions. The Trust was named for Harvey Boone, Percy Hodgson, and George Wilkinson, who had each contributed significantly to apiculture and beekeepers in BC. All three men, along with Leo Fuhr of Vernon, were appointed by BCHPA members as the first trustees of the Fund. The aims of the BHW Trust Fund have ultimately grown to include not only the support of apiculture education, but research as well. Records include correspondence, proposals, reports, financial statements, and supporting documents.

Subject files

Series comprises records from various sources on a variety of topics of interest to the BCHPA. Records include annual reports, correspondence, lecture notes, publications, membership lists and other documents.
