Starting as blueberry producers, in 1994 we branched out to become beekeepers. Over the years our beehives have been used to pollinate not only our own blueberry fields in the Denver, Guysborough County area, but fields throughout Eastern Mainland Nova Scotia. When the pollinating season is over, the bees are free to roam and gather nectar and pollen from the wildflowers in and around their apiaries. These nectar sources make a mild and tasty honey.

Our honey is pure, unfiltered and unpasteurized, all done the old fashioned way, slowly and lovingly. We also use organic methods to control pests and diseases whenever possible. With time and experience we have greatly expanded the line of products we produce from our own honey to include jams, jellies, creamed and liquid honey, delicious honey cranberry chutney, and even honey butters.

During the fall months, gift boxes, filled with jams and jellies, are available for the gift-giving season. Anyone would be delighted to get a ” Sweet of You to try Us” product. The fall is also the time of year when beeswax cappings (that thin layer of beeswax covering the ripened honey) is carefully harvested, melted, cleaned and made into a variety of all natural beeswax candles for your enjoyment.
