Welcome Ron, this is the time to start learning.
You can get all the information you need and start collecting your equipment over the winter so you will be ready come spring.
Feel free to ask questions, there are a TON of old threads that you can search through regarding everything you need to know about beekeeping.
Its a good way to begin.
Good luck and have fun.

Welcome RonH. Hopefully some of your locals will chime in with the info that you seek on local clubs. It would help if you go to your profile and update your location so get better responces to your area.

Cindi should chime in soon, she's north of the Fraizer but should know about the bee associations in the lower mainland.  Me, I'm in the San Juan Island, not so far away.
