Tiny Creatures.
Big Impact.
Every flower they visit helps strengthen the health of our environment, supporting not only our farms but also wild ecosystems across the country. Their role is so vital that it’s estimated one out of every three bites of food we eat is made possible by pollinators like them.
Our BeeMaid Honey beekeepers act as proud stewards of these tiny but mighty creatures. They care for their bees with respect and dedication, understanding that protecting honeybees means safeguarding the future of food and biodiversity in Canada.
A Remarkable Journey
Honey truly is nature’s sweetest creation, but did you know that a single honeybee produces only about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in their lifetime? It takes the incredible teamwork of an entire colony to produce the BeeMaid Honey we enjoy every day. Here’s how Honeybees create this beloved sticky substance:
Foraging: Worker bees collect nectar from flowers using their long, specialized tongues.
Transporting: The nectar is stored in their "honey stomachs" and carried back to the hive.
Processing: Inside the hive, the nectar is passed from one bee to another, with each bee adding enzymes that break down the sugars.
Evaporation: The bees fan their wings to help evaporate excess water from the nectar, turning it into a thicker substance.
Storage: The finished honey is stored in honeycomb cells, where it is capped with beeswax to preserve it for later use.
