Our Depth Charge vodka is cold-brewed organic fairtrade espresso and ethically sourced raw organic cacao nibs steeped in our super smooth vodka. Deep, dark, rich and waiting for you to turn it into an epic espresso martini or unforgettable cocktail.

Crushed local raspberries + raw honey (some from our hives at the distillery!) = an unforgettable small batch Raspberry Gin Liqueur. Perfect for patio drinks and chilling on the deck. There’s a reason why it’s one of our top sellers! 🐝

Bronze with Distinction (2024 & 2023), Bronze (2022) at the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition.

Our Unruly Gin starts with BC honey (including from our own hives), which is fermented into mead before it ever becomes a spirit. Vapour-infused with cedar, citrus, lavender, sarsaparilla, and coriander with local ingredients wherever we can source them. The result is floral, complex, and memorable for the right reasons.

Bronze (2023 & 2022), Silver with Distinction (2021), Silver (2020), Bronze (2018) at the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition. Gold, Vancouver International Spirits Competition 2016.

Wayward Drunken Hive Rum

Rum, but not as you know it. Ours starts with BC honey instead of molasses, aged 15+ months in bourbon casks until it's ready. Caramel, toffee, vanilla, and a smoky honeycomb finish. Worth the wait every time.

Audience Favourite, BC Distilled 2023. Gold with Distinction (2020 & 2019), Silver (2021 & 2018) at the Canadian Artisan Spirits Competition.

Market season is here and honestly? It's our favourite time of year.

You'll find us all over Vancouver Island and Vancouver at farmers' markets all summer long, plus the Filberg Festival in July and Ribfest Comox Valley in August.

Come say hi, meet our team, nerd out about bees, and find out what happens when you support locally owned small businesses. (Spoiler: good things. Very good things.)

Here's the thing about Queen Bees: the whole hive organizes itself around her. Every worker, every role, every function exists because she does.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Queen Bees! 🐝
