Championing Pollinator Health
Honeybees are essential to our world. Their delicate relationship with flowers and crops ensures thriving ecosystems and abundant harvests. We advocate for pollinator health by funding valuable research, supporting conservation initiatives, and promoting sustainable farming practices that protect honeybee populations for generations to come. BeeMaid Honey is an active member of provincial beekeeping associations across Canada and a proud contributor to the Canadian Honey Council, the National Honey Board, and other key industry organizations.
Access to nutritious food is a fundamental need, yet many Canadians still face food insecurity. We partner with organizations who help ensure vulnerable communities have access to healthy meals. By supporting local food banks and agricultural programs, we’re committed to helping nourish families and strengthening local food systems.
Investing in the Next Generation
The future depends on young minds who understand and appreciate the natural world. We support Canadian youth programs that connect kids to the land – fostering leadership, environmental awareness, and teamwork. Through hands-on education and outdoor experiences, we want to help shape the next generation of changemakers.
Bee industry associations & causes
Bees are important to our members’ livelihood and to Canadian agriculture. Because of this, we are active members of the Canadian Honey Council and the National Honey Board. We also support bee-related causes such as the Canadian Bee Research Fund.
Locally, in our own communities, employees of BeeMaid Honey organize events, fundraisers and 50/50 draws to support causes that are important to them.
Bee Maid Honey Scholarship
Since 2004, the Bee Maid Honey Scholarship has helped the children and grandchildren of our members and staff pursue post-secondary education. Each year, we award two scholarships to recognize academic excellence and support students in reaching their goals. We’re proud to invest in the next generation of leaders within our co-operative family.
Bee Maid Honey Annual Research Fund
We’re also committed to the health and future of Canadian beekeeping through the Bee Maid Honey Research Fund. Each year, we issue an open call for research proposals through the Bee Maid Honey Research Fund, inviting universities, beekeeping associations, and agricultural organizations to apply. This initiative supports vital Canadian research in apiculture, hive health, and honey production — advancing knowledge that benefits beekeepers and strengthens our industry.
Information how to apply for the Bee Maid Honey Scholarship or Annual Research Grant are posted in December, with applications due February 15, 2026.
