For this episode of the Fields of Success podcast, I had the pleasure of meeting with Bill Ferguson of Ferguson Apiaries near Hensall, ON. Bill and I discussed how he got started in the “bee business” and his journey to the present. He shares how his business has transformed from being primarily honey producing to breeding bees. We talk about bee genetics and Bill does a nice job of using the analogy of a dairy cow to explain it to me.
We also discuss some of the hardships that Ferguson Apiaries has had to overcome, both internally within their own industry where there are quite a few hobbyists, and externally with different pesticides and their effects on bees.
The podcast is a good mix of information about bees and apiaries as well as the journey of Bill’s entrepreneurship. Enjoy the episode and please share it with your connections to spread the stories of the successful businesses of rural Ontario. As well, if you are near Hensall, I’m sure Ferguson Apiaries would enjoy having you stop by to say hello.
