We have been busy extracting and bottling honey this past week. As in years' past, we are taking honey orders that we will deliver to your residence or place of work over the next few days. Please send us a PM if you would like fresh jars of honey delivered to you (if you live in the tri-towns 😀). $15 for 1KG jars and $8 for the 500G jars. Also, please note that we will reimburse you $1 for empty jars. We sterilize and re-use the jars. But not the lids unfortunately. Thanks!

Last week we checked back in on the bees to see how hard they’ve been working in this beautiful weather. ☀️

We found that the nuc hives are getting very strong, and will be able to move into full size bee boxes for winter.

Our strongest hive had capped honey ready to go, with more frames that will be ready in the coming weeks. We added some more storage to ensure the bees don’t outgrow their home.

Come down and see us! Beeswax food wraps and honey are ready to go! 🐝

I thought fellow beekeepers would appreciate this beautiful frame of honey ready for extraction. We are experiencing a significant nectar flow in Northern Ontario. The heat and intermittent rain has been wonderful for the flowers. I would assume that local gardens are thriving as well.

Here's a video of us checking to see if the Queen was accepted in a new hive we created.

Last week we checked in on the two new nuc hives to make sure the Queens were accepted. Enjoy!

Colleagues at work showing a lot of interest in honey bees!

Last week we checked in on our honey bees in the propane yard. This heat has had them very busy!
The original hives were strong enough that we were able to add two new nuc hives, which will welcome Queens this week.
We can’t wait for honey to start flowing. Stay tuned! 🍯

Wife of a Grocer

Check out our friend, Wife of a Grocer showing how our beeswax wraps work on fresh herbs! I can tell from the pattern that is an older wrap. Happy to see it is still working great for you!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR HERBS FRESH FOR WEEKS! Bees wax wraps have been a game changer in my house for keeping my herbs fresh! They are environmentally friendly, reusable, healthy, cost effective and can be used for so many things in your kitchen but for me this takes the cake.

These wraps will also make the perfect holiday gift for teachers, mothers, daughters, the chef in your kitchen or hey, why not just buy them for yourself...you won’t regret it 🐝

Forward to every person you know that struggles with their herbs 🌿 I know you are out there! Am I right? Walker's Honey

Yay!! So proud to be expanding our product into this awesome Toronto store!! 🐝🐝

I love these handmade beeswax made by my northern ontario friends @walkers_honey and I also love that they have landed on the shelf of my husbands store @summerhillmkt

I use them to wrap my herbs, cheese any leftovers going in the fridge and for school lunches and of course they are amazing for the environment ❤️

We collected another trailer full of honey this past weekend. We sure are grateful for the help with the heavy lifting. Each box is a minimum of 30 lbs.
As the season comes to an end, we remove honey supers and double check to make sure the hives are strong and healthy going into the winter. For example, we ensure the Queens are alive and healthy and that the hives have plenty of bees and honey stores. If a hive is weak, we combine them with another to ensure their survival. And finally, we treat for varroa mites. A big thank you to Anna, Sam, Willie, Glenn and Ian for their help this past weekend!

Here are a couple of pics from a bee yard tour last night. It's always great to see how kids love bees and honey.

Also want to let folks know that we will be at the Temagami Community Market tomorrow morning. Unfortunately that will be our only visit there this year. Hope to see you there!

Bees working hard turning nectar into honey.

With this beautiful weather, honey should be ready by early August. We have lots of fireweed 30ft from the bee yard. Fireweed nectar makes a delicious clear, almost transparent honey.

Combining her parents' two passions: teaching & beekeeping!

Did your child come home today and demand you keep the dandelions in your yard or ask to put a bowl of water outside for the bees?? Did they tell you that each fall, the Queen Bee kicks all the male bees out of the hive 🤭?

Students from the Grade 1 and 2 classes welcomed TDSS Student, Anna Walker (Walker's Honey) in discuss important information and fun facts on honeybees 🐝 !!

10,000 bees swarm New Liskeard woman's truck

Just a reminder that we are heading into swarm season in Northern Ontario. Please do not panic if you come across a swarm of honey bees. Honey bees are very docile and will not bother you. Don't hesitate to contact a local beekeeper if a swarm lands on your vehicle and you can't get home :)

New Liskeard beekeeper Geoff Walker was called in to capture an estimated 10,000 honeybees after they swarmed the hood of a woman's parked pickup truck while...

Happy Friday!

With beautiful weather finally upon us, don’t forget that dandelions are one of the first food sources for hungry bees. Display then proudly on your lawn. 🐝🐝
