The City of Calgary has introduced beekeeping by-laws as part of the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw (effective January 1, 2022) which includes permitting requirements for all beekeepers within the City.
The City of Calgary has posted the Beekeeping license application form on their website. Existing beekeepers should already be registered and approved by the City. The City requests one month to be able to process new applications. If you plan on keeping bees in the city, you must have a license issued by the City.
To apply for a license, you must complete the City of Calgary online form.
The City of Calgary requires that licensees comply with the Calgary Urban Beekeeping Guidelines.
