What’s happening…
Around the farm?
At Country Bee Honey Farm we pride ourselves on our amazing honey, delicious infusions, farm raised livestock, and unique gift ideas.
Our Premium Honey allows you to taste your way around the Saanich Peninsula in a jar of honey. Each jar of Premium Honey is labeled with the street that the hives are located on. No extraction tastes the same, and neither is your experience when you visit the farm.
Our customers are welcome visit our farm animals, you can enjoy a locally made treat from our café at one of the picnic tables, or check out the live beehive and observe the bees creating honey right in front of you. There is always something exciting to see at Country Bee Honey Farm!
Entry to the lower farm area is by donation and makes for a great outdoor family activity. Entry for the full Country Bee Farm Experience must be purchased in store. The store is wheelchair/stroller accessible, and our public bathroom is equipped with a changing table. Free parking is available.
The Country Bee Farm Experience
Our animals are here for the enjoyment of our store’s customers! Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life that we forget to stop and smell the flowers… and that is exactly what you can do here. The pollinator gardens are in bloom with different flowers throughout the summer, and there’s lots of animals to see, including mini donkeys, alpacas, emu’s, lambs, pigs, and baby chicks! Wristbands mandatory for Farm Experience entry. Read more

Pollinator Garden
During the spring and summer months our pollinator garden is in full bloom. The nectar and pollen from the vibrant flowers that grow around the store serve as an energy and protein source for our bees. Take a look at the variety flowers we planted.
Holiday Turkeys
Around the holidays we sell our farm raised turkeys. Perfect for a delicious family dinner on Thanksgiving or Christmas. All our turkeys are free range and fed only hormone and antibiotic free food. Our birds generally weigh between 16-24 lbs.
Observation Hive
Observe the bees depositing pollen from our pollinator garden, creating honey right in front of you, and watch the queen lay her eggs. The observation hive located by the pond, next to the farm animals, is great for teaching your kids about bees in a fun and memorable way. This hive is typically active in mid summer.
