Note:
• Classifieds will be published both in the print newsletter and online.
• Ads remain active for one issue cycle (one season/quarter). For example, an ad published in the Spring issue will remain live on the website until the Summer issue is released. If you would like your ad to continue beyond that period, a renewal request is required. This policy helps prevent outdated ads from accumulating and supports efficient website management.
• Equipment/bees ads must be less than 50 words (no pictures).
• MBA members may post employment ads – must be less than 100 words.
*All out-of-province sales of bees will be posted with the reminder that the respective Provincial Apiarists must be contacted and bees inspected as per inter-provincial bee movement regulations.
