If you frequent Muskoka&#8217;s farmers&#8217; markets, you may already be familiar with their honey company, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.muskokahoneybee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Muskoka Honey Bee Products<\/a><\/span>, which sells honey and beeswax products like candles, lip balm and soap.<\/p>\n<p>For the past few years, they&#8217;ve been testing out recipes for honey-wine and mead and recently received a federal manufacturing license to produce them for sale.<\/p>\n<p>The idea began on a trip to Germany to visit relatives. Mead and honey-wine are a common product of beekeepers there, but they haven&#8217;t yet achieved mainstream popularity in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had people ask me if we have honey-wine or if we&#8217;re making mead, and why not?&#8221; says Boehm-Tapley. &#8220;If we even mentioned that we were playing around with recipes, they&#8217;d say &#8216;put me on the list&#8217;.&#8221; Local chefs have also expressed interest in using honey-wine in their kitchens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75889\" style=\"width: 717px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75889\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75889\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Muskoka-Mead-samples-e1570457032521.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"707\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Muskoka-Mead-samples-e1570457032521-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Muskoka-Mead-samples-e1570457032521.jpg 707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-75889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These mock-ups show what the future Muskoka Mead products will look like (supplied)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As established beekeepers, they well-exceed the minimum 100 hives needed to be manufacturers. Now, they just need to build a manufacturing facility. They plan to do that at Logging Chain Lodge Cottages, the cottage resort that they own, using shipping containers so that &#8220;if we get as large as I think we&#8217;re going to get in the first couple of years, we can take those containers, pick them up, and move them to another site,&#8221; says Boehm-Tapley.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve launched a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/muskokamead\/muskoka-mead-and-honey-wine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a><\/span> to help raise the funds needed for manufacturing equipment. &#8220;We have enough funds and skills to convert two shipping containers into a manufacturing area with a wine-aging space, tasting area, and climate-controlled interior,&#8221; says Boehm-Tapley. &#8220;What we are not able to completely afford at this point is the wine-making system. That is why we are looking to raise $25,000 of the $35,000 price to purchase a full winery system that will quickly jump start the manufacturing and fermentation process of our honey wine and mead within a few days of installation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, mead and honey-wine aren&#8217;t quite the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Both are fermented beverages with honey as their main ingredient. Honey-wine is fermented for a longer period\u2014after a five-to-six-week initial fermentation, it is bottled and aged for at least a year. Muskoka Mead will offer two varieties of honey-wine to start: a traditional honey-wine and a Bochet, which begins with caramelized honey.<\/p>\n<p>Mead is fermented for a shorter period of time\u2014four to six weeks\u2014and is often flavoured with spices. Its alcohol content is closer to that of a session craft beer at four or five per cent. Muskoka Mead will initially offer two varieties of canned, carbonated session mead.<\/p>\n<p>Muskoka Mead hopes to begin manufacturing in the spring of 2020, and to be in a position to start hiring additional staff within two years to help with mead-making and other parts of the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>They also want to train new beekeepers. &#8220;There&#8217;s not enough,&#8221; says Boehm-Tapley. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of the senior generation that are now retiring. And there&#8217;s not the numbers coming into the industry that we need to sustain it. So as fourth-generation beekeepers&#8230;we really want to take the knowledge that we have as a family and hire students, for example, through the summer employment programs [and]  it will also allow us to hire other more senior beekeepers to help us with our apiaries because we just keep getting bigger. As far as I know, we&#8217;re the largest commercial apiary in the district. We want to create opportunity for the new people to come in and learn those skills. That&#8217;s really important for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75896\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75896\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75896\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Annmarie-with-racks-from-some-of-the-Muskoka-Honey-Bee-hives.jpg\" alt=\"Annmarie Boehm-Tapley with racks from some of the Muskoka Honey Bee hives (supplied)\" width=\"680\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Annmarie-with-racks-from-some-of-the-Muskoka-Honey-Bee-hives-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2019\/10\/Annmarie-with-racks-from-some-of-the-Muskoka-Honey-Bee-hives.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-75896\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Annmarie Boehm-Tapley with racks from some of the Muskoka Honey Bee hives (supplied)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The several hundred Muskoka Honey Bee hives are thriving\u2014they haven&#8217;t experienced the same troubles that have plagued many others. &#8220;The best part of having bees in Muskoka is there&#8217;s no commercial farming to the scale of, for example, Orillia and Southern Ontario, where they&#8217;re using neonicotinoids and where there&#8217;s mass bee deaths,&#8221; says Boehm-Tapley. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have that here, so we are very fortunate.
