And they call it Local Love...
Leskard has seen many changes throughout the years...
As Highway 407 nears completion at the end of our road and development continues into eastern Durham Region, we feel it is more important than ever to bring awareness to the natural landscape that is characteristic of our neighbourhood in rural Clarington.
Enveloped by a beautiful natural setting, we have developed a deep appreciation for nature and have become aware of its many healing properties.
Facilitators who have visited The Hive have offered ancient rituals related to nature as well as knowledge and wisdom about the health benefits of the plants that grow all around us. We want to share that with you!
Visit our historical property! Join us on the Temperance and Temptation Tour, gather a group for Creative Nature Retreat, Business Retreat or visit us AWCCU Financial's Love Your Local event in Oshawa.
Don't forget to check out the many unique and interesting attractions in Clarington and in the Durham Region. Hope to see you soon!

Temperance & Temptation Tours

Experience the secret stories of Ontario’s silent still. Take a guided journey back in time when the dry days of abstinence led to illicit thirsty nights filled with toe-tapping music, tasty food, hotsy-totsy dancing and plenty of giggle water.

The group set intentions, explored strengths and obstacles, enjoyed a vegan meal, experienced a Shinrin Yoku/Forest Bathing session, created beautiful nature art, and participated in a closing fireside ceremony.
It was a wonderful day with an amazing team of individuals who are working hard to fuel economic development and help businesses succeed in the Municipality of Clarington.

Earlier this year our good friend Linda Paulocik passed away. She was the former Director/Curator at The Station Gallery in Whitby.
Owners of The Hive, Elsii and Kevin, met Linda and each other at the Station Gallery. Linda had a profound impact on their lives – then and now. Linda’s influence is felt at The Hive – she loved and supported the vision and mission.

Station Gallery Curator, Olex Wlasenko wrote a touching tribute to Linda. Read Remembering Linda.
