About Us
Our family-owned beekeeping operation has been running for over 40+ years. We have been through it all, the glory days of no disease and box on box off beekeeping, to the era of the mite and low honey prices. We operate in both Saskatchewan, with it’s extreme cold winters and long summer nectar flows, and on mild Vancouver Island, where our hives enjoy early springs and diverse pollen sources. Our prime directive is to take our farm and the industry back to those golden days, whether that be through our breeding methods, or by producing affordable productive hives that are capable of once again looking after themselves.
