About Us

Established in 1918, Nith Valley Apiaries has been passed through four owners, each of them learning from the previous beekeeper. Our hives dot the countryside throughout Perth, Waterloo and Oxford counties, with around 20 hives at each yard, and 25 bee-yards. These hives allow us to provide honey to the residents of Southwestern Ontario and beyond. 

We believe in working within sustainable local food systems and place a high value on supporting our ecosystem, our local farmers, and our community. We offer the best quality honey products and customer service. By constantly upgrading our knowledge-base from other beekeepers and the scientific community we incorporate this knowledge into our business practices. Over the last few years we have been exploring healthy new products such as bee pollen, propolis, and small-batch specialty flavoured honeys. We've also added plants and habitat spaces to our farm to better support pollinators. 

We currently supply a number of local stores and restaurants, as well as retailing directly to the public from our 'Honey House' on the edge of New Hamburg. We offer a variety of quality honey products and varying specialty gift items. Bulk honey is always on tap and we are happy to fill your containers. 

Mike is our beekeeper who took over the business after an informal apprenticeship with the previous beekeeper in 2011. Now along with his wife Erika and and the help from 2 other beekeepers and 1 retail manager they strive to produce a variety of quality honey and hive products from the hive to you. 

At our Honey House we you can find White, Golden & Amber honeys, specialty creamed flavoured honeys, candles and other wax products, pollen, and propolis. You can also find products from other local businesses such as local Linwood maple syrup, Purple Martin Naturals soap products, Wellesley Brand products, Appleflats products, Abeille Beeswax Wraps, Candles from Huckleberry Hives Co and Lady Green Inc.
