About Us

We started beekeeping together in 2014, just as a hobby, and quickly realized how much we both loved it. It gave us a chance to spend time together, work hard at something rewarding, and—of course—enjoy the sweet results at the end of each season.

Over time, we also grew to appreciate the beekeeping community here in Dufferin County. It’s filled with generous, passionate people who are always willing to share what they’ve learned. Thanks to their support, guidance, and encouragement, we’ve grown into the beekeepers we are today.

Now, we’d like to give back by sharing what we’ve learned and helping others get started on their own beekeeping journey. That’s why we’ve opened a local beekeeping and honey supply store, right here in Dufferin County. Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, we’re here to support your beekeeping needs.
