My Story
Welcome to the Queen’s Dream. in 2019, I was invited to move to a farm and play with my dogs on 16 acres of land, with the freedom to start whatever project I pleased. I moved in with a couple, and the woman in the couple was a beekeeper. She invited me to come and observe in her three hives, and from the cracking of the first lid, I was hooked. The world of the bees is fascinating, and frankly, miraculous. Bee colonies have a consciousness you can feel, and taking care of them is much more than pulling out and switching around frames.
In 2020, I had an end of season sale, where I was able to deliver over a thousand pounds of honey to hospitals and people in the GTA and beyond and it was a resounding success. I made a lot of personal deliveries and got to see a lot of people even though COVID was in full swing.
In 2021, I left the farm due to my good friend’s sudden tragic death. Since then I have made it my mission to repeat the success of that first year, to build up the business and make it my own.
In 2023, I expanded to 13 hives, and produced literally, a TON of honey! My Spring Golden honey won at two local fairs, and placed 8th at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto! Last year I lost all my hives due to mites that got away from me…and my friends banded together and helped me buy all new hives.
2024 was an AMAZING year. Again, I came 8th at the Royal, but only because my honey colour was graded improperly. 2025? Is going to be the best ever as I am expanding to 15 hives from 10. I sell out of honey every year, so don’t forget to preorder or get it by the end of seaon! So grateful to everyone for the amazing support. The Royal will see me getting 1st this year. :)
