With over 35 years of experience in the industry, I specialize in producing healthy honey bees and queens, which, with proper care, are capable of surviving the winters and thriving despite the many challenges in the current beekeeping environment.  My genetic selection process focuses on a number of traits, but particularly on a queen’s ability to build up rapidly and it’s natural resistance to varroa mites.  If a queen can contribute to a strong colony with low mite counts most of the other challenges are significantly less challenging.

We operate from Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, but queen and nuc sales are available to all of western Canada.
