Wendell Estate Inc

John Wendell purchased his first bee hives in the 1930s near the village of MacNutt, Saskatchewan. John and Alvera’s son, Tim and his wife Isabel took over the honey farm in 1974. Recently their sons, first Nathan, and then Jeremy, returned from abroad, young families in tow, to join the family beekeeping business. Wendell Honey is still based on the original site near the village of MacNutt, Saskatchewan, but has grown to become a modern honey producer with over 4,000 producing colonies and more than 50 employees in the peak harvest season. The Wendells are deeply involved in all aspects of the honey and beekeeping industry, from collaborating on international research projects, to educating beekeepers at home and abroad, to serving on the board of directors of the Saskatchewan Beekeeping Development Commission, all while continuing to be hands-on in the day-to-day operations of commercial beekeeping.
