Executive Chef Shannon Wrightson and Beekeeper John Gibeau – The inaugural Honey Harvest at The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel.
New guests of The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in early June of this year were two notable queens. While they may not be of the royal lineage, their journey is unique. The queens hail from Italy with one raised in Kona Hawaii and the other in Santiago Chile. Their subjects have had an equally notable journey, travelling around the globe from their home of New Zealand to join the queens  here in Vancouver. Today the honey bees are the newest rooftop guests of The Fairmont Waterfront’s culinary team. – read more at www.urbanmixer.com

  1. Unless you are an experience bee-keeper, I would not recomment trying to collect royal jelly.

    The following website has lots of information on royal jelly, including how to collect:
    http://www.royalbeejelly.net/how-to-harvest-royal-jelly/

    “~First you need a bee family without a queen!
    ~Give them a frame with added piece of wood with special cells.
    ~In these cells put 20 to 36 hours old bee larvas.
    Because bees cannot live without their queen they try to raise a new one. They feed larvas with a lot of royal jelly, trying to make new queens.
    ~After 48 to 52 hours take these added cells away and take the royal jelly away with a special spoon
    ~Put new cells with larvas in the hive and bees will fill it again.
    ~Freeze harvested royal jelly and keep it in a dark room.”
