affordable shipping to these potential customers, but in saying that their E-Z Hives have made its way into the U.S. and one even as gone as far as the Northwest Territories. They see this as a tremendous growth opportunity for the business moving forward. In Nova Scotia, the Bee Industry Act and Regulations, as well as a host of local bylaws, have made beekeeping and hobby beekeeping easier in response to rising bee mortality. If you are thinking you might want to see what all the buzz is about, know that you are not alone. “With the E-Z Hive we have seen a move back to beekeeping by people that at one time were prominent beekeepers, mainly because of the ease of use. There’s no heavy lifting and the overall design has made beekeeping become interesting again. We have had overwhelming interest from novice beekeepers who thought beekeeping was difficult until they researched this beehive. Many have taken up the hobby for various reasons: to pollinate their small fruit orchard, to have natural honey and beeswax, or just to assist in creating bee life. We are seeing a shift by many individuals to producing their own food source as opposed to market shopping and the bee is the basis of food growth. This beehive is a perfect fit for this type of operation.”
If you are a novice beekeeper or are thinking of becoming a backyard beekeeper, Brian would certainly suggest that you research the art of beekeeping.
