MOOSE JAW — New tourist attractions, the Pollinator Pathway and the Honey Highway, were unveiled by Prairie Bee Meadery Winery June 7.
The meadery is located 20 kilometres west of Moose Jaw.
The Pollinator Pathway explores and explains the important relationship between humanity and their honey-producing partners. The Honey Highway explains the history and the process of making mead.
"We had a whole bunch of folks from Tourism Sask come out and sort of 'beta test' our new experiences, and they had a great time," said Crystal Milburn, co-owner of Prairie Bee Meadery.
"We genuinely hope that everyone else has a great time, too."
Visitors are invited to sip and savour food and mead options, enjoy a self-guided or guided tour, visit the crafting pavilion or enhance their visit with an app-based audio tour and treasure hunt games.
The winery crafts local premium honey into internationally award-winning wine. Prairie Bee Meadery started as a branch of Grandpa’s Garden U-pick and officially opened in 2016. Since then, the Saskatchewan community has embraced their products that can be found at farmers markets, more than100 liquor retailers in multiple provinces and at the Prairie Bee retail store located in the Grant Hall Hotel in Moose Jaw.
"Prairie Bee Meadery is such an anchor in our downtown core of Moose Jaw. It is an amazing destination and has been for a few years," stated Crystal Froese, city councillor.
"It is one of the most unique experiences, I believe, we have in the province of Saskatchewan."
