This Christmas is clearly going to be a tricky one for most of us. Lock-downs, travel restrictions, and supply chain issues are affecting each of us. Some workers are putting in more hours in stressful environments, while others are laid off or working from home, meanwhile, no one really knows what Christmas and New Years will bring.
One thing we can do, is support local farms, businesses, and neighbours. Buy gifts and other products from your community. At Tiddley Bee Honey Co. we hope you will support some of our partners here in Niagara:
The Mill Greenhouse Market (Port Colborne), is running their annual market right up until Christmas Eve. We are there with a full selection of our honey and beeswax products, and our good friends from Fehrhaven Farms, are set up right next to us with a wonderful line of jams and preserves. There are many other vendors featuring items such as antiques, soaps, wood products, and decorations. It is really worth checking out! See them in the greenhouses at:

Il Dolce Vita bakery on Main Street West has amazing breads, pies, and pastries – they are taking orders on those special treats that make Christmas meals memorable. Visit them, and pickup a jar of our delicious fall honey while you are there!

Cheese Secrets is an incredible cheese shop in Niagara-on-the-Lake who have featured our honey in their store throughout the fall. You’ve got to try some of their cheese offerings such as Gunn’s Hill – Five Brothers (from Woodstock ON) – it’s my new favourite! Cheese and honey go perfectly together – especially on a charcuterie platter.
Check them out at:
