The 2025 Saanich Fair this year was amazing not just because it is the oldest fair in Western Canada but I won for most points and best exhibit! Feeling nostalgic as I remember going to the fair as a child wanting to see the bees 🙂.

Honey and products from the hive are available so check them out and order at www.goldstreamhoneyworks.ca

I am using a cappings knife to expose the honey comb underneath. Once exposed it goes into the honey extractor.

Today we’re celebrating! 🐝🌼

It’s both BC’s Day of the Honey Bee and World Bee Day—a perfect time to shine a light on the amazing work of our honey bees.

Did you know it takes over one million flowers and 50,000 bee flights to produce just one kilogram of honey? (UN World Bee Day)

I was first hooked on beekeeping as a child, and in 2022 I finally found my way back to it. By 2023, I knew I wanted to take it further—turning my passion into a commercial honey and queen-rearing business. With support from the New Entrant Farm Business Accelerator program, a joint initiative from Canada and BC, over 800 lbs of equipment arrived last July—and we’ve been buzzing ever since!

Today, we raise both mated and virgin queens, produce nucleus colonies, and will harvest even more of our award-winning local honey this year, along with wax, pollen, and propolis—all the good things that also go into our handcrafted soaps, creams, and lip balms.

Thanks to our incredible bees, we’re proud to keep learning and growing—committed to their health in an ever-changing environment.
