Three, two, one, end of the wor--no, year is here. We already have plans for you after the world’s end, namely for the longest nights of the year. Come see Vancouver’s first ever men’s roller derby team compete against women, get mesmerized by an evening of magical wonders with Master Illusionist Vitaly Beckman, relieve your shopping spirit at the last-minute craft fairs, funk the night away (XXX version available too!), or just reconnect with mother Nature and accompany her into her Winter wonderland.
Short of ideas where to kiss that special someone under the mistletoe? Yup, we've got that covered too. Just keep on reading...
This much for now from the Bees in 2012. It has been a bee-utiful one, and we’ll let you know in details just how very soon … In any case, the only thing ending in the near future is this list of events so you better pick your best soon! And yes we are still accepting your events info at our email. Have a very merry one, don’t do anything we wouldn’t and we’ll bee in touch!

Boys versus girls, the eternal competition of the sexes. This special derby game is just that, Vancouver’s first ever men’s roller derby team versus the the well-known and established roller derby women.
