As a three time first prize award winner at the Sutton Fair, the honey has gained a reputation among loyal customers who are delighted by the taste experience and health benefits Mike's Bees offers.

12 million bees every season and while the Queen lives for several years the workers and drone live about 7 weeks and are constantly being renewed.

Chances are if you see a Honey Bee in Georgina or Sutton,or Keswick, Wilfrid or Pefferlaw it's one of Mike's Bees working for you, Mother Nature, and local farmer's who benefit from the busy work of the Honey Bees.
Everytime you use hive products you become a benefactor of your local bees.

Its fun, really easy, economical and rewards your creativity.

Creamed Honey is made at low temperature usually later in the Fall or early Spring as a cooler temperature is required for honey micro-crystals to form in our state of the art European Creamer.

Creamed honey has all the great flavour and a creamy texture that is best for spreading on muffins and toast. Add some cinnamon for a real taste sensation :)

The Nurse LED Practitioner Clinic in Sutton has recommended Mike's Creamed honey for cough relief and soothing a sore throat. Add your own ginger and or turmeric for great relief.

You can get it at Black River Cafe from Elaine the Coffee Goddess.

Cut Comb Honey - absolutely raw natural honey still in   the honeycomb. A very limited supply.
Sold in 250g trays.

If you want to resell comb honey then place an order by early mid-June as special combs must be inserted into the hives early in the season so the bees can make pure comb.

Propolis - is sold raw by the ounce or as a 20% tincture in honey brandy in 2oz dropper and spray bottles. The health benefits of propolis are just now being revealed. Propolis boosts the immune system and is often used to relieve gum diseases as well as speed the healing of cuts and scratches.

Pollen - the local pollen is a fantastic mix of colourful pollen from near bye species of flowers and trees. Blue pollen is common in Georgina due to the prolific Russian Squill (Scilla siberica)in the town that may have been introduced to the region by the Russian immigrants who founded a colony west of Sutton at Volga and Birch streets many years ago.

Eating pollen is nutritious and might be able to desensitize your body to airborne allergens.It has worked for me and my summer/fall hayfever symptoms are gone.


I will be making a special very limited batch of honey with pollen released in the wind before bees are flying from Alder
catkins for myself and others that have early spring allergies. Email me to ask how this is done and order before March.

How to spot local pollen: local Georgina pollen is highly varied in shape and colour due to the high diversity of flowers we have in the region.

Often pollen is shipped in from western Canada where most of the pollen is harvested from industrial farms growing GMO canola soy beans and corn. You can easily spot this since it has uniform (monoculture) yellow appearance. Its fine but will lilkely not afford the immune boosting nature of local pollen.

  Saving the Bees starts each fall with proper preparation of the hives before winter.

Wrapping the hives in a black wind/water resistant fabric is essential for minimizing winter losses. The polystyrene roofs minimize water vapour condensation and keep the hives warm and helps reduce stress from the bees that are struggling to maintain an internal hive temperature close to human body
tem
perature.

Beehives in Ontario need about 70 lbs of honey to get through the long winter and the beekeeper must make sure each hive has that amount of honey in October.

The energy expended by a hive is about 40 watts the same as a candle when burning.
