BlogTO.COM: This is Toronto’s tiniest honey store – owned by Estonian Ando Kass


This contactless pickup box might just be Toronto's smallest family-run honey store – or store of any kind – but it has a big history and a lot of bees behind it.

East York's Ando Kass has a love of bees that extends back to the 1970s in Muskoka where his grandfather had an apiary on Gibson Lake. When he was a teenager they'd spend time together watching the bees buzzing in and out of their hives.
