Honey
The honey my bees produce is pure, natural and unpasteurized. Our main honey season starts with Blueweed. As a result much of the first comb honey comes from Blueweed. After that with the arrival of summer the White Sweet Clover is in full bloom. It is our best honey producer and its honey is a light golden colour with an excellent flavour. When it granulates it’s crystals are very fine. As a result it makes an excellent crystallized honey. As August nears Purple Loosestrife begins to bloom. Purple Loosestrife has become our second most abundant honey crop in recent years. On it own Purple Loosestrife is rather bitter but combined with Clover and Goldenrod it results in an excellent stronger tasting honey. With the approach of fall it’s Goldenrod’s turn to mark our fields with its yellow flowers. Its honey is darker but mild in flavour. In conclusion once September has arrived we leave to the bees whatever honey they have collected. It will be for their nourishment and enjoyment in the long winter ahead.
Beeswax cream
My parents have been making this cream for over thirty years and I continue their tradition of using pure beeswax obtained from our bees, the finest oils and spring water in the making of this cream. In the 35 years that I have been making beeswax bodycream, many people have commented on its efficacy in prevention and healing of dry skin. For instance chapped skin, lips and dry cuticles. On the other hand others have found it invaluable in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis. In addition customers have recommended it for the healing of insect bites, poison ivy, skin allergies and cold sores. This cream is thick so we recommend that you use it in small amounts. A little goes a long way. To use, apply at the first sign of dryness or symptoms. Use every day or two as needed. In conclusion medically this product has not been tested but beeswax, with its wonderful antibacterial quality, combined with oils have been used to soothe the minor aches of folks across the centuries.

About Me
I’m a producer of honey,beeswax cream and flowers since 1986. My father is a beekeeper so I grew up with bees. I have approximately 100 hives. There are more hives some years than others depending on how they fare through the winter. My hives are located in the area east of Tweed, 40 km north of Belleville. The bodycream is made from the beewax produced by my bees.
