Goldstream Honey Works

Goldstream Honey Works My childhood passion in beekeeping comes full circle with the establishment of Goldstream Honey Works Today fast forward to Goldstream Honey Works.

My passion for beekeeping was introduced to me by my family at an early age. We visited my Uncle Keith and Aunty Dorothy in Northern Saskatchewan when I was about 5 or 6 years old. The picture you see is me and my Uncle showing a frame of honey we had collected.

2024 has been an amazing year of many ups and a few downs. The bees have produced another award winning crop of honey and made this the best year ever at the Saanich Fair! Beekeeping has been very challenging with the weather up, down, wet and waspy. However 2025 is coming fast and I am looking to the future. More on that later so for now I am bottling honey and very proud to showcase our new handcrafted honey goat milk soap!

Happy Sunday vibes.

To facilitate bees during periods of intense heat, a simple yet effective solution is to provide a water source. I employ a straightforward chick water feeder, augmented with stones from my property, to achieve this purpose. You may opt to enhance the appearance of the feeder by incorporating marbles or colored stones, or simply utilize a plate accompanied by stones. Refrain from over-embellishing, as the primary focus should be on accessibility for the bees and other pollinators, which will undoubtedly appreciate the gesture.

Winter Beekeeping
Winter Beekeeping

Hi, I had a great question a little while ago about how my bees were doing in this weather so I thought I would show everyone how I prepared them for this weather at the end of September last year. I insulate inside the roof of the hive and below the hive. I then wrap insulation around the hive. I also have what is called a spacer with wood chips this acts like a lung in the hive to keep the humidity low. Low humidity is key for them to survive this weather. Hence the bee fondant I provide is quite dry to again ensure low humidity. The queen excluder I use (the grate thing) is normally lower above the brood box during a honey production but here it keeps the burlap used from dipping down and preventing the bees from coming up and eating. Each hive has honey that I left for them but they like my fondant :).

Great day for candy making, Wednesday I will be in the hives replacing the pillow and checking foods levels.
