The Healthy Yards Demonstration Garden is located at the Food Bank & Learning Centre's Garden Patch (900 block of 3rd Avenue North, just south of 33rd Street East and Warman Road).

Boulevard gardening

Vacant lot gardening

Owners of vacant lots are encouraged to apply for the Vacant Lot Garden Incentive. The program has been designed to promote urban agriculture as well as address the aesthetic and safety issues of vacant lots.

Urban Beekeeping 

You may keep honey bees in your yard as long as you manage your bees responsibly, as outlined in the City of Saskatoon’s  Animal Control Bylaw and the Saskatchewan Apiaries Act. It is also important for you to:

  • Register your hive(s) online with the Ministry of Agriculture (required). If you have difficulty or questions, call the Ministry at 306-980-6198;
  • Limit the number of hives to 4 per residential yard;
  • Ensure your honey bees have adequate space so that they do not become a nuisance to neighbours;
  • Requeen every two years or when the queen dies or is failing;
  • Reduce the strength of large colonies by making splits or nucleus colonies in May and June;
  • Prevent aggressive behaviour;
  • Provide food resources by planting pollinator-friendly flowers;
  • Provide a large water source (one hive needs >1L/day) with material such as branches or rocks that the bees can land on;
  • Avoid the use of pesticides (especially insecticides) in your yard and garden.

When good management practices are used, beekeeping can be a safe and educational activity that helps increase pollination and fruit production. If you are interested in beekeeping, please connect with the beekeeping community and talk to existing beekeepers to find out what it takes to keep bees in the city. To find out more, contact the Saskatchewan Beekeeper Association and the Saskatoon Bee Club.

What is a honey bee?

Honey bees are 15-20 mm in length and have hairy bodies that are often yellow, brown, and black. Their hairy bodies and special structures on their legs allow them to transport large amounts of pollen, making them very efficient pollinators. Honey bees are social insects that form large colonies. The entire colony survives the winter.

What is a honey bee swarm?

When a colony grows too large, it will divide in half and leave in search of a place to start a new hive. This process is known as swarming. Swarms of several thousand bees can occur in Saskatoon and can be seen resting on trees or buildings in a large cluster, and the entire swarm tends to move quickly in search of a perfect place to make a hive. A swarm is not dangerous.

If you see a swarm, contact a local beekeeper to collect the swarm. You may also contact the Saskatoon Bee Club, who may refer you to a beekeeper. If the swarm occurs within a home or other private structure, we recommend calling an exterminator.
