When Marg's Honey Inc. started out, the thought of hiring anyone to work on their hives was inconcievable as the business was never big (or profitable) enough to warrant hiring someone to work for them. But over the years, good fortune has smiled on them. Today, they employ between 2-5 people including students who are hired through the Canada Summer Jobs Initiative.
The work generally only takes place between March and November but it can last from 6 hours, for the regular employees, to up to 16 hours, for the owner and family who work there.
The work consists of heavy lifting, and driving to different farm sites to check on the bees, dealing with trapped wildlife, and collecting bee swarms. It is quite different from the normal job, but those who do it say that they love it and that they learn a lot.
