Our team

Originally from Sainte-Madeleine, a small village near St-Hyacinthe, Germain Tétreault realized from a young age that he had an uncommon passion: he was fascinated by the world of bees. Although some people found them scary, they appealed greatly to Germain. At about the age of 21, he left the province of Quebec to study beekeeping. He spent four years in Saskatchewan, where he worked for several beekeepers in that region, and then he returned to Quebec. He settled in St-Bruno-de-Guigues in Témiscamingue, a region favourable for bee farming. He then created his own business, Miel Abitémis.

Miel Abitémis is a family business that has been producing high quality, non-pasteurized honey for over 25 years. The warm and dry summer climate in our region, coupled with cool nights, allow us to produce honey with a unique flavour. Our passion for beekeeping, our years of experience, and our knowledge of the industry all contribute to making our honey both natural and delicious. The employees of Miel Abitémis are proud to produce a top-quality product that truly reflects Témiscamingue.

Responding to the employment needs of the region, Honey Abitémis provides work for a dozen people each summer. During the cold season, there is less work to be done, and only three employees are kept on.
