Un- “bear-ably good AT THE MARKET | LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN IF YOU’RE LOOKING for fresh honey, be sure te stop by the farmer’s market this Saturday. Martin deHoog has been selling his. own brand of honey at the market since 1986, Martin was born in Holland and moved to Burns Lake with his ‘parents in 1951. After he married ' in 1966, he and his wife moved to Terrace. They raised four chil-' dren here and now have two. grandchildren in town. Marlin became interested in bee keeping through two friends of _his who kept bees — Ralph Lind- blad and Alex Sacharoff. ‘Marlin started with two hives in 1979 and now has 123 hives. He ‘says he’s learned a lot about bees, but it’s a never ending process. Martin starts preparing the hives in the spring. The colony will build to about 120,000 bees, to be ready for the honey Dow in mid July. The honey flow will run for about 6 weeks. Mainly sunny weather with some moisture is the ideal ‘weather for the bees to produce honey. As for location, clear cut - logging areas are great spots for bees, The clear cuts produce lots of freweed and fireweed is an ex- cellent honey producer. Afier the honey flow is over, the honey is taken to an extractor, spun out and pumped through a filter. system, and into storage tanks, ready to be bottled for sale, While the bees may work free of charge, there are a few trade- offs- for their services. Bears in particular are a problem for bee keepers. Martin uses electric fence around some of the hives, Three years ago, his fencing syS~ tem failed and a bear destroyed about 1000 Ibs, of honey. Once the bears discover where the honey is they become a real problem. Sometimes Martin has lo cal] the game warden in to remove the bears. One bear caught in the warden’s live trap ‘was completely covered with ‘honey, as if he had rolled in it to cover himself from head to foot. ‘Martin sells 500 gr. jars for $2,25, 1 K, for $4.25 a 5 K buck- et for $15 or 3 buckets for $37. Also for sale are bees wax candles in the shape of the old Egyptian style reed hives, They have a lovely fragrance and sell "for $4 each. Martin’s sales range from $150 to $300 a moming at the market. ‘The Farmer’s Market starts every Saturday at 9 am. in the parking lot across from George Little Park. Lynne Christiansen is a vendor at the market and a Member of the market board. MARTIN DEHOOG gets suited up in protective gear to check on ,some ofhis bees, He has 123 hives which house approximately 120,000 bees during peak honey production times.
