Our Sweet Story

With degrees in Biology, Agriculture and Education, Kate is a lifelong learner and has been an active volunteer at the University of Guelph Honey Bee Research Centre (HBRC) for the last 4 years. 

During her work with the HBRC team, she developed a passion for beekeeping and has had the opportunity to work with, and learned from, some of the most knowledgeable beekeepers in the country. Applying best management practices attained from practical work and educational sources, colony loss at BeeLane is extremely rare and significantly less than the provincial average and supports the sale of nucleus colonies to other local beekeepers. 

Her attention to detailed management practices is also demonstrated in honey processing quality as BeeLane placed first in liquid honey show categories at the 2024 fall fairs in Milton, Aberfoyle and Erin and placed second at the 2024 Royal Winter Fair.
