Our cousins, Ross and Anne Marie, over at Logging Chain Lodge have gone into bee-keeping. Not a big leap, since Anne Marie's family have been in the bee business for, like, ever...
I remember her walking through our bush one day, commenting that the really big, really old artists' fungus were very useful in smudging hives. Bee people know stuff like this.
We all need bees. They are responsible for the majority of our foods -- who else works so tirelessly to pollinate everything out there? And bees are in trouble, being overworked and over-pesticided in far too many places around the world.
So it is with great glee that I can report the Logging Chain bees are living happy wild lives in North Muskoka, well away from any people, any houses, any pesticides. They are harvesting pollen from wildlflowers and happily doing what bees do best -- make honey.
We are pleased to offer the Muskoka Honey Bee pure Ontario wildflower honey for sale here at Bondi Village, along with locally made pure Maple Syrup. And our free range eggs and garden produce in season.
How sweet is that?
