Canadas First Regenerative Apiary

learn more about our regenerative practices on our 100 acre farm nestled in the Oak Ridge Moraine

"we believe the future of responsible and ethical beekeeping means beekeepers MUST take radical responsibility for the health of their soil, their pastures, the quality of their nectar sources, and how their colonies interact with and affect the environment around them"

Our conservation work

restoring marginal farmland to pollinator habitat using regenerative practices

Our ecology

the Oak Ridge Moraine is an ecologically important geological landform, named for its rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from Niagara to Northumberland. the Oak Ridge spans 65 of our 100 acres and we are proud to preserve its Key Natural Heritage Features (wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife habitats), and Hydrologically Sensitive Areas (springs, and streams).

Why we no longer educate new beekeepers

what our clients say

Hi hi
Just a note to say thank you to you and Keri. What a delightful morning. You have created a beautiful space inside and outside for yourselves and I am so grateful you are sharing with the community. And teaching youngsters and not so youngsters alike. Feeling fortunate and hopeful for future generations. I had a lovely time and learnt a lot. Made me even more curious about bees and determined to find a way to have hives closer to our farm.
Love that we are neighbours.
Looking forward to connecting again soon.
Cheers,

Lydia

I have visited Hunnabees multiple times for tours and shopping. Keri and Dave have taught me a lot about bees, and are absolutely lovely to chat with. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly, and we always keep 3-4 of their different honeys on hand! Highly recommend you check them out!
