For the love of bees

Bee Swarm Collection

Swarm Collection

Beekeepers are happy to collect swarms. There is an extensive SWARM LIST of beekeepers in Southwestern Ontario who collect honey bee swarms or remove bees from walls, attics, trees, etc.

If you're not sure if you have bees or another insect see our swarm collection page for identifying photos.

We also have info about swarms --don't be afraid, the bees are house hunting when they swarm and they aren't feeling angry or aggressive. It's actually a planned event for them.

All products are sold via my Etsy shop BeeMagicBeeGifts.

I sell Beeswax C andles, Bee Jewelry, Body Products and Honey. I handmake the products and my precious bees make the honey.

I love to use my aesthetics and training in herbal use to make skincare products using honey and beeswax from my hives.

In 2009, my dad and I officially became beekeepers starting with two hives. Originally I was going to go solo with beekeeping but two weeks prior to getting my first two hives I broke my arm. With no lifting allowed, my Dad stepped in and said he'd help. And he stayed even after getting stung.

Dad, Lorne, passed away in 2020 and we miss him dearly.

I am a certified Esthetician (graduated from Fanshawe College, London ON). I enjoy using my knowledge of skin care to develop body products such as creams, salves, body butter and soap that use beeswax and honey. I do wild foraging for healing plants known to be excellent for skin care and incorporating them into my products. It reminds me of gathering rose petals as a child and making rose water.

I started researching honey bees in 2008, and for many years I've been working on a children's novel about honey bees called Bee Magic Chronicles.

Educating people about bees has always been a priority for me. The more we know the less we are afraid or uncertain about these lovely stinging insects. I post Fun Bee Facts almost every day on the following
