Meet Karen Pedersen, a fifth generation commercial beekeeper and apiary owner in Cut Knife, Saskatchewan!
As a member of the Manitoba Cooperative Honey Producers, one of the two Co-ops that own Bee Maid, Karen and her family run single story hives year-round for honey production. A significant portion of her work is also dedicated to raising queens in mini hives to breed healthy local colonies.
Karen finds joy in working with small hives that allow her to closely monitor them. She appreciates the versatility and learning opportunities beekeeping offers, as she never knows what she will witness when opening a hive on any given day. |
