Bouwmeester Bee Products is owned and operated by Tim and Laurie Bouwmeester with the assistance of their lovely daughter Lisa and Keena, the bee dog.

The Boumeester's started with a small bee yard in Fort Frances, a community situated in the southwest corner of Ontario. In 1996 the family relocated to Penticton, BC where they operate two large bee yards, both in the organic orchards of Naramata.

Tim has a Diploma in Forestry from Sir Sanford Fleming College in Lindsay, Ontario and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario.
