Located in peaceful St. Andrews, Manitoba since 2003, Marg's Honey Inc. has experienced relative success given the economic climate recently.
They employ between 2-5 people including students from in and around Winnipeg whom they hire to help out around the summer months. With their help, they manufacture around 15,000 - 20,000 lbs of honey per year. If that sounds like it's a lot of work, then you'd be right! Their work year starts in March and ends in late November and involves plenty of heavy lifting.
Together, they make the hive boxes, prepare the bees for Spring, tend to the hives throughout the summer months, extract the honey, prepare the hives for wintering and sell the honey throughout the winter. Daughter in Law Jo-Anne uses some of the wax to make custom candles while some of the wax is available for sale. If you are interested let us know HERE . It really is a full time job.
