Buckerfield's - Nanaimo, British Columbia

The garden centre here is excellent. They always have what I want (even when other nurseries don't) and a great selection. I don't know if every Buckerfield's is like this but I think they do an amazing job!

If you’ve ever found yourself the unwilling recipient of honey bees, Buckerfield’s is your logical next stop. No, Shane wasn’t kidding- he really brought over a container full of honey bees. Am I afraid of bees? Hell yes. Did I ever want to bee an apiarist? Nope, but here I am. Is it fun? Yeah. Do I often phrase things rhetorically?

This store has real world supplies for apiarists thru to zoologists. I was able to find smokers, brood frames, bee suits and many other things I’ll never need, but purchased because bees scare me. The staff may have known nothing at all about honey bees, but they’re very friendly. The staff also know which aisle to point at.

Buckerfield’s is fantastic. It reminds me of a Saskatchewan farm supply store (a place I’ve never actually been, I should add). Had I owned a bee suit 2 years ago I’d never have run out of Butterfly World, screaming.

This is a great little store. It carries odd things you may rarely need for animal care, but would find nowhere else. Who doesn’t need a galvanized 50 gallon cattle trough? Me neither, but if my friend Shane drops off a horse, domesticated elk, or super pigs, I’ll be back at Buckerfield’s picking one up.

Walk softly and carry a big bee smoker.

Staff is very helpful. Gives honest awnsers. I have never had an issue with them. Great prices and supplies. I've gotten chicks, cat food, dog food, plants, and tools from them. Amazing as always!

Always a pleasure coming in to buckerfields and talking with the wonderful staff 🙂 Made my girl all fancy with the vet wrapped I picked up, for helping heal a spot on her paw.

Wow! Can you say rude? Went up to the customer service desk. Nobody there except woman on phone. She pages someone. I ask her if this is the fertilizer on sale. I show her the flyer. In a condescending voice she says "no, the stuff on sale has a fish on it". So I go back and look. I finally approached two different people on the floor. The first one totally ignored me, so I went to another one and asked her. She was just as condescending. She pointed and said it's on the bottom shelf. I told her I was sorry, but it's not in the same section as the other fertilizers. She just said "no it's not". Honestly I can go to SharKare. I'm sure nothing will be done.
