Miel de Melbourne
Miel de Melbourne, founded in 1994, is a company based in the Eastern Townships and engaged in beekeeping. Its activity is mainly oriented towards the production of unpasteurized honey sold exclusively on semi-retail and retail markets in several regions of Quebec. It does not offer the commercial pollination service. It offers five brand names, and can be obtained mainly in jars of 340 g format.
Our Mission

As you can see, dear readers and honey lovers, Miel de Melbourne's activities are part of Périfmédia's larger project. This is not new: since its founding in 1994, Miel de Melbourne has supported, through the revenues from the sale of honey, projects that have taken on many forms. Thus, Périfmédia and Miel de Melbourne form one and the same team, which is now clearly indicated on our site.
By buying our honey, our customers therefore support an initiative that fits directly into the momentum initiated by Pope Francis. But Miel de Melbourne's contribution to Périfmédia's mission is not limited only to funding: all the work of raising bees, from handling honey - to marketing - is done in a missionary spirit animated by only one concern: to help taste God.
If by the daily prayer and work, if by the bonds which unite our team, we come to reveal a little of this extraordinary complementarity which God inscribed between men and women, between the flora and the bees, then we will be able to say with joy: mission accomplished!

OUR BUSINESS
Marc Paré, Beekeper for Miel de Melbourne
Honey is a fine and delicate natural food, whose personality varies according to the region, the year and the time of the season. Unfortunately, this quality is too often drowned in standardized and anonymous product blends that are brought to grocery stores.
When we started breeding bees, our main concern was to make available to our potential customers, honeys that would retain their own identity, such as wine. But we did not just want to produce "wine", we wanted to produce "good wine".
Preserving the identity of honeys requires the attention and the hard work that we have chosen to assume in the exercise of our trade. In practice, this means that we harvest honey from each apiary separately and maintain that distinction until they are placed in jars. Thus each spoonful of our honey, far from being anonymous, becomes an ambassador of a flora circumscribed in an average radius of two kilometers. Imagine the possibilities of nuances!
We have kept the use of wood as the material from which our hives are made to offer our bees a living environment that is as natural as possible. We also opted for healthy pesticide-free management within the hive. We believe these factors contribute to the quality of our honey. We wish you a pleasant tasting at our products!

I reassure you right away: it is not about the big city in Australia! Honey "from Melbourne" is an authentic Quebec product. Our very first beehive, formed in 1994, was - and still is - on the edge of the Township
