A Working Crerar BeeHive |
Liquid honey is extracted from the comb, and then strained. Clover, goldenrod and buckwheat honey are available in this area. |
|
Creamed or granulated honey is crystallized under controlled conditions and has a creamy, smooth texture. |
|
Environment strongly influences honey production. Weather affects flowering seasons, which affect the bees' ability to collect nectar, which affects honey production. |
|
Quality is of the utmost importance. Care is taken in every step of this labour intensive process, from collecting, extracting, and packaging, to storage and delivery. |
|
Queen bees are essential for maintaining hive populations, and for breeding strong, healthy colonies. They can now be brought in from suppliers in Ontario. |
