 2013 Apiary Tours
Chinook Honey Company
Whether you are young or old, a visit with the bees at Chinook Honey
Company is an experience you won’t soon forget. Knowledgeable guides
will give comprehensive talks about the amazing bees, their colony
structure and the many wonderful products they make. Using a working
observation
hive you can witness an amazing variety of honey bee behavior
without any danger of being stung. Depending on the time of year you
could watch the queen laying eggs, the worker bees coming in with pollen
or nectar, bees feeding the young brood and perhaps even watch as a young
bee emerges from their wax comb. During a tour you will also learn the
role of the beekeeper in keeping their bees happy and healthy. All tour
activities are indoors and there is also a gift store that sells a vast array of
honey and honey made products including ice cream and mead.
 2013 Winery Tours
Chinook Arch Meadery
Chinook Arch Meadery, Alberta’s 1st honey winery,
also offers tours. Mead - the ‘Nectar of the Gods’ is
produced and sold at the Chinook Honey Company
site. Tastings are always available during the regular store
hours and during a tour you will learn all about the
ancient art of making Mead in the modern world.
