Three generations of the Podolski family run bees on the Manitoba prairie and bottle liquid, creamed, raw crystallized and buckwheat honey, plus bulk honey in barrels and totes.
Effectively, we're out of business. We can try to find more Canadian market share, but if many other beekeepers are trying to do the same, it may be a race to the bottomSource: ca.news.yahoo.com, Aug 22, 2026
Natural honey (HTS 0409.00.00) has carried a 50% US duty since August 22, 2026, and about 90% of Podolski's sales went to American customers. General manager Osee Podolsky told CBC the farm is effectively out of business.
Made in Canada
The family has kept bees at Ethelbert, Manitoba since 1954 and sells what its own hives produce as "100% pure genuine Canadian honey".

If the tariffs aren't lifted, I can't afford to sell with this kind of a tariff. I would go bankrupt.
