Shout out to my dear friend Stephen O’Donnell for capturing this stunning photo of one of my girls visiting his backyard milk w**d this past month🌸Stephen is a neighbour of my hive share client in Sundridge. I always love hearing updates from him about what plants the bees are visiting in his stunning gardens throughout the summer

*IMPORTANT NOTICE-PLEASE READ* Last week I got a notification of suspicious activity on my Instagram business profile. As a result my OG Instagram profile is locked down tighter than Fort Knox. As a result I can’t see or access my original profile at all. I know it’s not deleted but I’ve tried every verification possible to unlock the account…to no avail. I’m hopeful there is some sort of timeline as to when I can re-access my account but it’s not looking good at the current moment. I’ve put in reports to Instagram through my personal Instagram profile but who knows if/when I’ll hear back from them. In the meantime I’ve created a back up She Keeps Bees profile to A) get the word out to you all and B) let you all know I am okay and well. If customers have reached out to me over the last 5 days please DM through this account. Needless to say it’s been an emotional heart breaking few days over here as I come to terms I may not get my OG profile back…ever. 5 years of hard work gone in an instant

She Keeps Bees honey now available in Burks Falls at the The Owl & The Moon

05/04/2025

Beekeeping season 2025 has officially begun but not the way I wanted😔 ….my Burks Fall’s yard was hit by a bear sometime over the weekend 💣🐻 3/4 hives destroyed. Two winter boxes completely demolished. We estimate that he/she was about 300lbs based off the size of tracks found by the yard. The remaining hives that have survived to this point are looking good and appear to have had good spring build up since March. For those who’ve been asking about nucs and hives. The verdict is still out till I can get into hives later this week. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you all again for your patience.

The bee, small yet mighty, carries with it the spirit of hard work and connection. In the eyes of the Native people, the bee is a symbol of community and unity, teaching that every individual has a vital role in the balance of life. The bee's tireless flight from flower to flower represents not just survival, but the sacred duty to give back to the earth. With each delicate touch, the bee fosters the cycle of life, ensuring the growth of the plants that feed and nourish us. In its wings, we see the strength to persist, to work with purpose, and to contribute to the well-being of all. The bee teaches that even the smallest acts can have profound impacts, and that our connection to nature is not one of domination, but of mutual respect and harmony. It reminds us that our labor, no matter how small, is part of a greater cycle that sustains the world around us.

🌍🐝 A Heartfelt Message from the Hive 🐝🌍

As a proud Canadian beekeeper, I’ve always believed in the power of community and connection—both among my bees and within our beautiful country. With the current trade war between Canada and the U.S., it’s a crucial time to reflect on what truly matters: supporting one another right here at home while also still respecting the beekeepers across the border.

To my American beekeeping friends, I want you to know that I feel for you during these challenging times. We share technology, research, innovation and a passion for our craft and the vital role we play. The hurdles we face can be tough, but our love for bees and the commitment to sustainable practices unite us.

To my Canadian customers, our honey is more than just a product; it’s a symbol of the hard work and dedication of Canadian farmers and artisans. When you choose to buy local, you’re not just enjoying the sweet taste of pure Canadian honey—you’re also investing in your neighbor’s dreams, families and helping to strengthen our economy.

Let’s come together as Canadians and uplift each other during these challenging times. By supporting local producers while still respecting (and collaborating with) our fellow beekeepers to the south.

Together, we can weather any storm and emerge stronger, just like a resilient hive. Let’s celebrate our incredible community and ensure that our local producers continue to thrive!

🐝💛 Here’s to supporting each other, cherishing the sweet connections that make Canada and the U.S. truly special, and standing in solidarity with all beekeepers! 💛🐝
