Youngest Son Beekeeping - Sweet Smoke Honey BBQ Sauce

Crafted just outside MacGregor, Manitoba, this small-batch BBQ sauce captures the spirit of a Prairie summer; smoke in the air, something on the grill and a quiet sweetness that lingers.

Youngest Son’s Sweet Smoke BBQ Sauce blends natural hardwood smoke with their own raw, unprocessed honey for a deep, balanced flavour that’s both smooth and bold. Made with real ingredients - tomato paste, molasses, honey, apple cider vinegar and a warm blend of spices including paprika, cumin, chili and black pepper- it brings just the right amount of heat and sweetness. No shortcuts, no fillers.

Brush it onto burgers, steak or grilled chicken. Use it as a marinade, a finishing sauce or something to dip into on the side. However you use it, this is BBQ sauce done right - rooted in tradition, made with care and perfect for warm nights and shared plates.

Dale Lewis has spent his life around bees. He grew up with the smell of a smoker in the air and trays of queen cages quietly piping under tea towels in the family bathroom.

Based in MacGregor, Manitoba, Dale runs Youngest Son Beekeeping, a small, thoughtful operation rooted in tradition and care. His father, Murray, began keeping bees in nearby Austin decades ago. Over time, a handful of hives grew into Lewis & Sons, a full-time beekeeping and equipment business. Dale and his brother Adam were raised in it, learning the rhythm of the work season by season.

It wasn’t until later that Dale realized how rare that kind of upbringing was. Talking with new beekeepers or answering questions about the job made him see how much experience had been quietly passed down. Youngest Son is his way of carrying that forward. From raw honey to cold-smoked blends, each jar reflects a deep respect for the bees, the process and the place it all comes from.
