Natural Honey is Making a Buzz
Steven Heywood, Parksville Qualicum News, 2/7/2006

Some swear by a spoonful of honey each day to help ward off illness. In fact, honey has for years been considered as having antibacterial properties.

It is this fact that gave Catherine and Sebastien Martin an idea for a business on Vancouver Island.

The couple, who had worked in France in an importing business, moved to Chemainus and, with the help of the Duncan Business Futures office, embarked on a plan to promote the beneficial aspects of organic Manuka honey.

They, through their business Wedderspoon Organic, have become exclusive suppliers in Canada of the honey from New Zealand - obtaining the designation of Organic Manuka Active, which ensures their product is some of the best-quality Manuka honey available. . .
