honey, hives & houses
APIVERTE builds EZHouses on host properties featuring the works of local artists. Our goal is to propagate and protect the honey bees – while also pollinating the surrounding environment. We sell personalized CSA-style honey shares to individuals and regional businesses. Our honey is small batch, craft, personally branded and geo-located to its harvest area. We also conduct research and development activities on bee health and habitat throughout the calendar year.
pure
Premium, single location, small batch, craft honey
raw
Never heat pasteurized so you can taste the flavour of season.
local
From field to table in the Outaouais and Ottawa.
geo-located
Directly from the bee to your kitchen. APIVERTE honey tastes even better when you know exactly where it comes from. All our honey is harvested in small batches and never mixes with honey from our other locations, ensuring a unique flavour based on the abundance of specific local flora and fauna.

R&D
We’re making beekeeping more accessible to all, so more bee enthusiasts can become beekeepers and established beekeepers can keep active at their hobby longer. Our EZHives and EZHouses will also ensure better survival rates for the bees and protect them from predators.
Our hosts
The backbone of our business is our relationship with our hosts and their relationship with the land and environment. Each host has been carefully selected for their region, access to suitable bee forage and their like-minded business approach.
