I can't say for certain either way, but if there is one, it wouldn't be the same. Getting experiences in a lab, working with specimens, in the field etc. are a huge part of the biology degree I'm working on, and it really wouldn't be the same without them.
One possibility is to find a couple places you would like to go, find out their requirements, and then fill the core requirements through either distance learning or at a nearby community college (though be sure to make sure those credits are accepted). After that you can take a year or two to go to the main college and take the upper level biology courses and get your BS. I don't know for sure how this would work, but if I were in your position I would look into trying something like that.
