Drawdown Quick Guide

We believe organic beekeeping is better for bee populations, and healthy bee populations are essential for plant and vegetable pollination, in turn ensuring a healthy ecosystem.  Our approach follows a path of trust in nature, not control over nature.

Guiding Principles:

• Synchronicity with Nature
• Small Cell Natural Comb Size Beekeeping
• Locally Raised Bees and Queens
• No Synthetic Chemicals Used
• Antibiotic Free
• Overwinter Bees on own Honey
• Extraordinary Hive Locations – over 113 hives in Caledon
• Extensive Foraging Areas

“Natural, organic approach makes for healthy bees”
