Occupation Beekeeper
Location Bon Accord, Alberta, Canada
Introduction I'm a small-scale beekeeper in the Bon Accord, Alberta area. I produce and sell my own honey from about 80 hives. Lola Canola Honey sells at farmers' markets in the Edmonton area. I've been beekeeping for 9 years with a couple of years experience with a commercial beekeeper before that. I'm happy doing it! I'm involved in the local food movement in this province! I love to educate people about bees, beekeeping, honey, and food.
