Chris Campbell keeps close to a hundred colonies at his apiary in Georgina, Ontario, and sells the crop as "Raw, unpasteurized, cold filtered honey": Wildflower Honey at $12 for 500g and $22 for the kilo, a $10 Honey Bear, Chocolate Honey and cinnamon, lemon and vanilla Creamed Honey at $12 a jar, a $25 Paw Wax, and quarter, half and full Hive Shares from $125 to $450 that pay out in that hive's own honey at the end of the season; bee pollen, propolis tincture and beeswax show in the home-page gallery but are not in the shop.

HTS 0409.00.00Honey50% since Aug 22, 2026
Raw wildflower and creamed honey is natural honey, HTS 0409.00.00 on the CBP Section 338 list, a line carrying a 50% US duty since August 22, 2026. Hiveshare's own delivery page says "We offer shipping for customers across Canada" and nothing beyond it, so the duty does not land on its checkout; it lands on the Canadian honey market Hiveshare sells into. CBC reported that small Ontario honey companies "may not be exporting their product to the U.S., but they worry a new 50 per cent tariff will encourage larger honey producers based in the Prairies to crowd the Ontario market", and Farmers Forum quoted a beekeeper on the same measure: "The whole industry is in an uproar over this. It will be brutal." Hiveshare has published nothing about it.Source: content.govdelivery.com, Aug 22, 2026

Made in Canada

Hiveshare's honey comes off its own frames in Georgina: the shop asks buyers to "Enjoy the unique flavour of local wildflowers in our artisanal honey!", the about page points people to "our locally sourced, natural and healthy products", and its land acknowledgement places the work on the ground, saying "We acknowledge that our apiary and beekeeping practices take place on the traditional lands of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississauga Nations."
