I'm in South Surrey, B.C. Pretty much White Rock, south of Vancouver on the B.C.-Washington border. I've got 90lbs out of my one hive and split it twice, started the year with one, now have 3. Last year was my first year with bees, overwintered successfully. The start of spring was early and warm and mostly sunny. Was lousy in June and early July but things were well underway by then. Varroa is showing up now so I'm about to OAV treat but overall I'd say it's been a pretty great year for my bees and a honey crop. I have 2 neighbors on my street with bees also, they're doing well too.
