Amazing Honey From Amazing Bees.

It was a tough summer for honey production, but we have a limited supply of delicious fall honey to share with you.

See us at several fall markets:

Seaside Craft market, Privateers, Guild Hall, and Brooklyn Christmas market.

Tiddley Bee Honey Company is a Canadian Veteran owned business established in Queens County Nova Scotia. We currently supervise and nurture approximately 230,000 honeybees (and growing) as we continue to build our colonies into 2025.

South-West Queen’s county is not known for agriculture, and many think that makes it a poor area to raise honey bees . In many ways the lack of mono-culture associated with large farming areas is beneficial.
Our bees get a great start in the spring with the variety of blooming trees such as maples that provide excellent pollen to build up colonies. Our cool spring makes for a slow build up, but once things get going, the bees find a multitude of wild flowers in the woods that give them an excellent variety in their diet.

This makes a great tasting spring honey -even if the flavour is not always consistent year-to-year. In fall, we are blessed with a multitude of fall flowers that make some delicious honey- even if it tends to crystalize quickly.

2025 Summary

Health-wise, this was a another great year for our bees. Colonies were expanded (to 27) with very low swarms, very low varroa mite counts through the year, and some excellent forage opportunities at new beeyards in the spring.

We expanded into Shelburne county, sending some hives to be baby-sat by a donkey near Lockeport, and got to help a young new-beekeeper rebuild after a bear tore apart his hive.

Honey-wise, it was looking like it was going to be an amazing year. Things started great, but the drought that struck Nova Scotia in August and September really limited the honey flow.

We are always happy to talk about what our bees produce and what makes it so special. Reach out with the contact form below.
