Tugwell Creek Farm We specialize in high
quality products from our own beehives located around the Sooke
area.
From our Survey
Mountain apiary the bees have harvested Wildflower honey. This
honey is comprised of Salal (Gaultheria Shallon), Fireweed (Epilobium
Angustifolium) and Hawksbeard (Crepis Capillaris). The nectars
are derived from an assortment of other sub alpine blossoms found
high in the mountains above the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Sooke
River Pot Holes is known by many locals for its superb Blackberry
(Rubus Discolour) crops. We put our bees there to obtain the nectar
from them and later in the summer from the abundant Canada Thistle
(Cirsium Arvense). A truly tasty combination.
Honey
Comb
Due to popular demand we are proud to announce
a limited amount of fresh honey in the wax comb and chunk honeycomb
in bottled honey. Don't miss this old-fashioned favourite of young
and old alike. Available in October in limited quantities.

beeswax tapers are made from the purest of our beeswax. Hand dipped
from beeswax cappings they have the beautiful natural smell and
colour that only true beeswax candles emanate. Limited quantities

Beeswax
