HIVEOLOGY
Hiveology is a sustainable Apiculture company that harvests and retails raw, unpasteurized honey and curates sustainable products including honey-based infusions and simple syrups, pollen, and honeycomb. In July/August, they harvest honey from their beehives and then filter the honey prior to bottling. Their honey infusions include Orange, Ginger & Turmeric, Truffle, Lavender, Rose, Hot Chili, and Garlic. They dehydrate the ingredients prior to infusing the honey.
Jennifer Dirks Krezan is an Apiculturist and a student of Agriculture Science – majoring in Sustainable Foods and Farming. Her studies in Entomology, integrated pest management, botany, soil science, pollinator habitat and biology heavily influenced her to establish and launch multiple apiaries in the central Okanagan region in 2018. Brad and Jennifer are the sole employees of the company and produce the honey as well as bottle and label everything themselves.
They are proud to practice cruelty-free methods of beekeeping while employing gentle and effective sustainable organic treatments. Their goal is to raise awareness of their ecosystems and to improve the health of the honeybees while increasing their population locally. Their Beehive equipment is locally made and wax-dipped to provide the bees with a bacteria and fungal-resistant environment giving them the best chance for survival and healthy reproduction.
