Hi from the Yukon

[Northern Honey]

well this will be my first attempt at this 'best kept secret'. i have recieved a good hands on start in kelowna and victoria, bc. i would like to ask if anyone out there has some names/addresses they can share with me of some beekeepers that hail from the north of the 48th! it is a challenge i think up here, but i know that people have been successful in the past and if i can start communicating with them, i will give my bees a fighting chance this year at the hands of a rookie.

thanks for any suggestions/peoples/websites... whatever info you have on raising bees in the north!
