Raw Unpasturized Honey is
Yet delicously simple
Honey contains nearly 200 individual substances. Much of this (as much as 75%) is comprised of both simple sugars (monosaccharides – fructose and glucose mainly) but also contains more complex sugars. As the bees bring nectar back from the flowers, they introduce enzymes to help break down these complex sugars and as the active enzyme (namely invertase) still exists, honey in a jar is constantly evolving and sugars are being transformed from one form to another.
Honey also contains many proteins – mainly from the pollen that is brought back with the nectar, but wild yeasts also contribute to this count.

Our beekeeper Dave works solely with Buckfast bees. They were the bees that he initially started working with, and after working at other beekeeping outfits including an Italian breeding program in New Zealand and trialing a variety of other bee races, Dave kept coming back as you ‘just couldn’t beat em’. It was their winter hardiness, spring build up, temperament, and honey production that made them easy to fall in love with and become the bees of choice.
The bees are of Buckfast decent, but are locally mated and then carefully selected each year for our 100% Ontario Nucleus Colonies.
Looking to build confidence, develop your technical beekeeping skills and/or learn the hands-on aspects of beekeeping?
Moving from theory to practice always presents a multitude of challenges. Whether it is building up the courage to work a hive of 60,000+ honey bees, looking to try your hands at the craft or need some coaching, our beekeeper has developed a mentorship program to help you with the tools you need to succeed.
