Alexandre Obnovlennyi has always been about bees, starting with his studies in Moscow 30 years ago. Arriving in Canada a short time later, he set up shop in farm country near Alliston, and has been collecting and selling honey ever since. There are no fancy preparations here; Obnovlennyi simply scrapes the fresh honey from the hives’ frames and bottles it without further ado. Each bee yard produces a slightly different (uniquely delicious) flavour of honey, depending on what type of wildflowers the bees are collecting nectar from. Closed Sunday to Tuesday.
