The Wendell family farm has been producing honey since John Wendell started keeping bees in the 1930s. For decades we reserved the season’s best honey to sell to dedicated local customers. In 2011 Tim and Isabel Wendell launched the Wendell Estate brand so that customers around the world who lack access to a trusted local apiary could enjoy natural, raw honey. We are passionate about our honey and invite you to enjoy our finest. Raw, pure, authentic honey direct from our bees to your table.
Can I Eat Raw Honey When I'm Pregnant? | Wendell Estate Honey. Skip to navigation Skip to content Your Cart Menu 0 Cart I’m Pregnant. Yes, you can! I’m not sure where this idea that raw honey should not be eaten by pregnant women comes from, but it although it is common, it doesn’t seem to be based in facts or evidence. Perhaps some people, knowing that infants less than a year of age should not eat honey, have extrapolated that to mean that pregnant women also should not eat honey.
Perhaps, because infants are at risk of infant botulism from eating honey, some assume that adults can also be at risk of botulism from eating honey and therefore honey should be avoided in pregnancy. Infant and food-borne botulism The reason that honey can, in very rare cases, cause infant botulism (FAQ on this here) in young infants is due with the fact that infants’ intestines are not yet fully colonized by normal gut microbiota – those healthy bacteria that inhabit all of our intestines and perform critical functions contributing to our health.

Skip to navigation Skip to content Shopping Cart Menu 0 Cart Wendell Honey Farm Struggles After Devastating Winter and Spring The 2021-2022 winter and spring of 2022 were devastating for Canadian beekeepers. Background: New Queens & Nucleus Colonies Tim started breeding queens over 30 years ago shortly after Canadian honeybee import regulations changed.
Wendell Honey’s queen breeding team raises hundreds of new queens by grafting young female worker bee larvae (daughters of selected breeder queens) into plastic queen cups and then placing these larvae into a hive that is intentionally made queen-less (the queen is isolated from the worker bees). A day or two before they hatch, the queen cells are removed from the hive and each one is placed into its own nucleus hive to hatch.
Making up new nucleus hives is coordinated to coincide with the queen cells getting ready to hatch so that the nucs are ready just in time to receive the ready-to-hatch queen cell.

With the holidays comes the shopping stress of choosing “the right gift” for those on our gift list. In what must surely be an attempt to leave no potential customer excluded, marketers appear to have subsumed all of our diverse cultural winter celebrations with the overarching commercial term “Holiday Season”, promoting the giving (more specifically, the purchasing) of presents as the main event of the entire season.
From the best of intentions… Historically, the winter celebrations in various cultures were generously intended to give the “common people” a break from the tedium of daily life (and especially, here in the north, the discomforts of the cold, dark winter), allowing people to relax, spend enjoyable time with loved ones, and hopefully celebrate with festivities, eat delicious foods, and enjoy rare treats.
