Albert Einstein once predicted that if bees disappeared from the earth, humans would meet the same fate within four years. Just south of Calgary, the Honey Meadows Farm works tirelessly to make sure this doesn’t happen. Honey Meadows produces over 300 metric tonnes of honey per year, making it one of Western Canada’s largest apiaries. To do this they adhere to a strict schedule, as the honey season only lasts from March to September due to the long Albertan winters. Last week, beekeeper Jon Zwiers gave me a hands-on tour of the first stages of producing this sweet treat.
