 The Beehive Collective House is looking for a new housemate / collective
member for March or April 1st.

We welcome interest from queer folk, elders, youth, people of all colours
and cultures. ---You plus kid, cat or dog a possibility---

Who are we?
The Beehive is an established collective house located just off Commercial
Drive. We believe that mutual support in the domestic realm fosters
stronger individuals and stronger communities. Collective living is a
powerful form of activism, allowing us to exercise our values of social and
environmental justice right in the home. Together, we hold safe space for
individual and collective growth.

More about the house at the Beehive Buzz

We value:
• Shared meals (we have a big kitchen and eat dinners together)
• Environmental consciousness and practice
• Open communication and supporting each other
• Vegetarian/vegan/freegan/local food & cooking from scratch
• Kids
• Animals
• Community-building and skill sharing
• Laughter, games, music, stories, creativity
• Growing food (we have a garden), and foraging.


As a new housemate you will:
join 5 other adults and 1 cat. There is a guest room for friends and
visitors.

Cost:
varies depending on income, but it is very very very affordable. Inquire if
you need specifics.

Stability:
we ideally seek someone who plans to live here for longer, rather than
shorter; we have been a low transition house for the last 4 years, and this
adds to the warm sense of connection in the house.



In joining us, some of the things you would be involved in are:
• Eating together is one of the great joys of collective living, and since
the Beehive's inception it has been a central priority of the house. We
share sit-down dinners almost every night of the week, and we expect that
people are home for dinner at least half the time. We each cook dinner one
night a week for everyone. We eat ethically sourced food (local,
home-grown, CSA, organic, dumpstered, unprocessed and/or minimally
packaged).
• Regular, organized housework to maintain our community.
• An almost weekly house meeting lasting 1.5 hours based on consensus.
• Having friends and guests over for dinners and overnight visits.
• Occasional larger social events such as potlucks, meetings, workshops,
storytelling nights, food-processing parties.
• Weekly 30-minute meditation session if interested.
• Processing food – fermenting, canning, dehydrating, etc.
• A happily bike-based home.
• Overall, we exercise simple, economical and environmentally friendly
living. We are social but not a party home, and the house is usually quiet
and calm in the evenings, with a clean kitchen.

If think you might be interested to consider joining our home, please email
us at thebeehivehouse at gmail.com and answer the questions below:

Why do you want to live at the Beehive?
Do you have experiences living collectively? Or with other Collectives?
Please describe.
What skills do you bring with you?
What are you passionate about?
Any questions or concerns?
Please include your phone number, as the next step is a conversation.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
