Queens & Shelburne Counties, Nova Scotia

Amazing Honey From Amazing Bees.

Still limited supply (as of 1 November 2026)…

Honey is a seasonal crop – once our fall harvest is gone we won’t have any honey ready for you until end July / early August when we can take our early harvest (*if the weather and the bees cooperate).

We are booked for the Privateers Christmas market at the Liverpool Best Western 5 December 2026, and hope to have some honey to sell at that point.

In 2027 we plan to continue to attend both the Queens Privateers Market (*Saturday AM), and the Shelburne Guild Hall Market (Sunday Afternoons) as soon as we have honey available. As always, we sell honey from our place at 33 Brooklyn Shore Road, Brooklyn NS. I don’t put out my company sign until honey is available.

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 2027.

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 crystallize quickly.

2026 Summary

Health-wise, this was a good year for our bees. Colonies were sustained at 26/27 with a very low number of swarms, low varroa mite counts through the year, and some excellent forage opportunities at new beeyards in the spring.

Honey-wise, it was looking like it was going to be an amazing year but late blooms for local aster flowers limited what we could take in our fall harvest.

What we could get is excellent!

Thanks for your continued support!!
