We focus on producing antibiotic-free honey. Yes, bees are treated with antibiotics like other livestock. Our pristine Northern Canadian Boreal Forest bee-yards away from cities and pollution allow us to achieve chemical-free beekeeping. Our bees are healthy without the use of antibiotics.

Our honey is never mixed and is always bottled straight from the source. Most of the honey you find in stores are mixed with foreign honey that are known to be tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals. Tests show that the majority of big store honey is not honey at all, but rather a mix of syrup and sweeteners that have no traces of pollen.

Unpasteurized: Honey never goes bad. It doesn’t need to be pasteurized in the first place. Big companies pasteurize and ultra-filter their honey in order to give a pure and clean look to their honey and to prevent crystallization. They have to go through this process, in a way, because their honey is mixed with foreign honey of unknown sources. After heating and ultra-filtering, honey's source can no longer be traced. Our honey is never pasteurized and never reaches temperature above 35˚C (95˚F) during its extracting and bottling processes.

Yes, our company and our honey are both 100% Canadian!

Our headquarter is located in Concord, ON. You can see our full address at the bottom of this page.

Our bee-yards are located near Temiskaming, ON; Laird, ON; and Peace River Valley, AB.

Many companies use the term, 'raw', loosely and most are heated to aid the bottling process. We take the word, raw, seriously. RAW should mean what consumers think it should mean. It should compare to a raw potato - not baked, not fried, and not mashed potato.

Raw honey comes directly from the beehive. It’s gone through minimal processing and straining. Raw honey has heavy traces of pollen, propolis, and beeswax. It’s never heated. This means all of honey’s enzymes, minerals, vitamins, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral properties, and other health benefits are retained. Minimal processing also means you may see particles in the honey. Don’t worry; this is the good stuff we’re talking about.

Honey has been used by multiple cultures from Ancient China to Ancient Egypt for thousands of years as medicine. It's been used to treat wounds, used as a cough suppressant, and as an immune system booster. Honey is one of few natural medicines that has stood the test of time.

Honey has a long list of health benefits including:

Immune system booster, Anti-cancer, Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, Moisturize and nourish skin, Improve digestion, Help with allergies.

Please see About Honey for more information.

Bees produce not only honey but also propolis. Propolis is made from mostly tree saps, not flower nectar or pollen. Bees use this substance as caulking material when building their hives. It’s been used for thousands of years by different civilizations to treat infections and boost immune system.

Our wildflower honey will start out as light golden liquid in the beehive. Then it crystallizes within weeks of extraction. We then churn and bottle the honey - without using heat - into jars. During this process, air bubble will get trapped inside. When the weather is warmer, honey will become softer and the bubbles rise to the top, creating a layer of white foam. This foam is mostly air, beeswax and pollen separating from the honey. Honey is still the same honey, so you don't have to worry about it. You can give it a good stir and the white foam will disappear. Because our honey is raw, this is more pronounced.

Honey also turns more yellow as time passes. This is also a normal process, and there's nothing to worry about.

Just like the term, 'raw', Our organic honey is seriously organic. Because bees can fly to any sweet source for their honey, we must control the area where we place the hives.

Organic apiculture in Canada is governed by the Canadian Organic Standards. Organic certification requires a forage area that provides a 3 km radius (or 28 sq. km) around the hive that is free of prohibited substances. This eliminates beekeepers that are located near conventional farms, golf courses or factories. Organic beekeepers must also attempt to source organically raised replacement bees, must feed with organic honey and must use organic beeswax for comb foundations. (source: OBA) True organic certified honey is extremely rare.

Some honey that are sold as organic in Canada are not Canadian organic at all. Many companies market their honey as organic, but they’re usually mixed with South American honey. If you see organic honey in large quantities, chances are it’s not organic Canadian honey.

Even in the great Canadian North, these untainted foraging areas are rare. We are committed to preserving these nature habitats for bees and our honey will continue to flow from clean unpolluted lands.

No, we leave enough honey in the beehive for the bees to survive the Winter. In emergencies that may arise from weather and colony health, we may feed organic syrup to bees. But the feed would have long been used up by the bees before we harvest honey and will not be part of the product.

No, we do not add anything to our honey. It's 100% natural honey.

Honey is temperature sensitive. When the ambient temperature is cold, it will get harder. When it's warm, it will get softer. This is natural and we cannot control it, nor do we want to control it.

A short answer is that you should store it in room temperature. Honey does not require refrigeration.

In detail for best practice:

Our creamy honey is best served and stored in room temperature, around 18°C to 27°C. If your wildflower honey is stored at or above 40°C, its crystalline structures will melt into liquid state. If your honey is stored below 10°C, it will become very hard.

Our liquid honey is best stored at above 20°C as it will stay liquid that way for longer. Above 30°C will keep it liquid forever, but most people will consume all the honey fast enough to not require such storage temperature and the process of crystallization is very slow in honey like buckwheat. Bees typically store honey at around 33°C in the hives. Storage below 20°C will cause it to form crystals.

We do not use heat or seed honey to cream our honey which is the typical process involved in creaming. It is naturally crystallized honey that has been churned at low speeds for consistency.

However, the Canadian government has deemed that because our wildflower honey is in a state similar to a creamed honey, it should be declared as a creamed honey for classification.
