This month’s episode features an interview with well-known and successful Nova Scotia Beekeepers, Sandra and Mario Swinkels. The Swinkels are based in Antigonish NS and are involved in beekeeping, pollination services and honey production. In addition, they have a successful range of honey bee-related value-added products which they retail directly to consumers and through local shops. We talk about establishing their beekeeping business and the challenges they face as they continue to expand. Mario and Sandra provide advice and tips for anyone interested in starting out or growing their beekeeping operation. Listen and enjoy this casual conversation, rich with valuable information for all beekeepers in our region.
