🐝 Thank you Farmers Weekly for sharing our story

Charles Friderichs, owner of Honey-Dawn Bee Farm, has developed his expertise over more than half a century, having first started collecting and processing honey as a schoolboy growing up in Keiskammahoek in the Eastern Cape.

“My dad was a doctor in the village, and his partner had some hives in his garden. I would be there every day after school, and that’s how I made my pocket money,” says Charles.

Over the years, his experience included working for beekeepers Frank Steinhoble and Peter Mountain, before going to Cedara College of Agriculture near Howick in KwaZulu-Natal. It was here that he was chosen as an agricultural exchange student and worked in Minnesota in the US as a beekeeper for a year at Banker Honey Company.

Charles and his wife, Dawn, have been involved in commercial beekeeping and honey production since the 1970s, initially establishing Honey-Dawn Bee Farm in the Balfour region of the former Ciskei in 1975. They relocated to their farm just outside Port Alfred in 1985 and have been based there ever since. This year, Honey-Dawn celebrates 50 years in the industry.
