Our Story

Our Story: Where Nature Meets Artisanal Excellence

Nestled in the majestic mountains of Revelstoke, British Columbia, BeeKind Honey Bees emerged from an unexpected encounter with a commercial mead producer in 2012. What began as a fascination with honey bee health blossomed into Revelstoke's first commercial apiary in 2019 and has since evolved into a comprehensive apiculture enterprise spanning the Columbia-Shuswap region.

A Legacy of Growth

In July 2023, we proudly expanded our family by welcoming Beeswax Works, a third-generation chandlery renowned for exceptional pure beeswax candles. This union represents our commitment to utilizing every precious gift our bees provide, while honoring traditional craftsmanship.

Our Sustainable Approach

Drawing from our background in education and guided by certifications including the prestigious Bee Master's course, we've cultivated strong partnerships with the BC Honey Producers Association, BC Bee Breeders Association, and international forums like Apimondia. Our apiaries, strategically located across Revelstoke, Malakwa, Armstrong, and Falkland produce premium products while supporting sustainable beekeeping practices.
