One of the first steps to successfully receiving your beekeeping licence from the City of Edmonton is to meet training and mentorship requirements. Applicants must submit proof of completion of a beekeeping course from an accepted organization/association. If this is the first time you have kept bees in an urban environment, you must include proof of support and assistance from a mentor. Please see the Urban Beekeeping Guidelines for further details.
Individuals can take any of these intensive beginner courses to receive a beekeeping certificate recognized by the City of Edmonton.
