Every year the CRBA hosts a booth at the Saanich Fair to educate members of the public of the services we provide. This, of course, includes talking to interested beekeepers about all things bee-related, showcasing typical setups of hives, as well as an on-site observation hive for people to look at.
The entire fall weekend is managed by club volunteers, from setup the week before, to tear down at the end of the 3-day event.
