Ontario Beekeeping Association - OBA    http://www.ontariobee.com/
This great organization works to support Ontario beekeepers in many ways.  They advocate politically, support research as well as offer training and information.  Membership for people with less than 50 hives is just $85 and you receive their Journal that comes out 6 times a year.  They also have OBA conferences that provide a great opportunity to hear the latest research and network with beekeepers from all over the province.  Links to your local Beekeeper Associations & more.
