The Catalog

Provisions for the ridge and the hive.

Every formulation is built on hive materials we harvest ourselves and botanicals foraged within the Similkameen watershed. Two-inch tins, full ingredient decks on the back label, and a bench book that walks you through each one. Open any product for its photo gallery and key active matrix.

Ridge Slate

RIDGE

Alpine Barrier Salve

Built for wind, altitude and cold-load exposure. RIDGE lays down an occlusive wax-and-resin barrier that holds through a full day above treeline, then breathes out overnight instead of suffocating the skin.

$32 CAD2 in tin · 60 ml

Forge Ember

FORGE

First-Aid Balm

The tin that lives in the pack lid. FORGE is our propolis-forward field balm for nicks, hot spots, blisters and the small damage that ends long days early.

$34 CAD2 in tin · 45 ml

Reset Moss

RESET

Recovery Balm

For the hour after the summit. A warming arnica-and-devil's-club massage balm worked into quads, shoulders and forearms so tomorrow starts on the trail rather than in the tent.

$36 CAD2 in tin · 60 ml

Stride Clay

STRIDE

Chafe Defense Stick

Glide, not grease. A dry-finish beeswax stick that kills friction at the pack strap, waistband and thigh across multi-day mileage — no residue on technical fabric.

$28 CAD50 g push-up stick

Gallery

Gust Glacier

GUST

Expedition Lip Shield

Snow glare, dry cold and 40 km/h ridge wind. GUST holds a heavy wax seal on the lip line at temperatures where thinner balms simply disappear.

$16 CAD4.5 g tube

Gallery

Shield Resin

SHIELD

Propolis Tincture

Single-origin propolis, hand-scraped from our Princeton yards and extracted slow and cold to hold the full resin spectrum. Season-change insurance in a dropper.

$42 CAD30 ml amber dropper

Similkameen Soap Trio Cold-Process Honey Soap

Valley Sage

Similkameen Soap Trio

Cold-Process Honey Soap

Three valley bars cured six weeks: Sage Bench, River Clay and Ponderosa Ash. Raw honey and beeswax from the same frames that fill our jars.

$38 CAD3 × 120 g bars

Gallery

Valley Gold

Princeton Valley Gold

Raw Craft Honey

Unpasteurized, unfiltered, single-apiary honey pulled from the Similkameen bench. Alfalfa, knapweed and wild clover — a jar that tastes of one valley in one season.

$26 CAD500 g jar

Gallery

Similkameen Wildflower Pollen Hand-Harvested Bee Pollen

Pollen Ochre

Similkameen Wildflower Pollen

Hand-Harvested Bee Pollen

Collected in short morning windows, hand-sorted and low-dried to hold colour and potency. A mosaic of the valley's bloom calendar, granule by granule.

$24 CAD150 g jar

Topicals — The Foraging Bee explorer seal

Shelf & Bench Book Colour Key

One seal, one colour, one page.

Hive Goods — The Foraging Bee honeybee master seal

The explorer seal marks every salve and topical; the honeybee master seal marks the honey, pollen and apitherapy goods. Each product carries its own signature colour on the tin label, on the hive shelf and on its page in the bench book.

The Foraging Bee custom hive-box display shelf stocked with tins, honey and tinctures

The Hive Shelf

Every market, the whole line on one shelf.

We build our display out of retired hive boxes and carry the bench book beside it — one page per product, the botanicals that go in, and what each one is actually for. Wholesale and retail expansion inquiries are welcome; small-lot allocation is confirmed season by season.

The Foraging Bee bench book open to hand-drawn botanical product notes
