Bee Maid Honey Limited is a Coopera ve

owned honey producer and processer with

loca ons in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Spruce

Grove, Alberta. Not many food companies in

Canada have a story like Bee Maid’s. It all began in the 1950s, when a few inno‐

va ve beekeepers had a dream to form an organiza on allowing them to sell

their high quality Canadian honey throughout the world. Today, over 300 West‐

ern Canadian beekeepers own BeeMaid, and those beekeepers currently har‐

vest almost 30% of all the honey produced in Canada.

The heart of BeeMaid is its iconic brand that has been a leading Canadian brand

for decades. Each domes c bo le proudly features the faces of their owner bee‐

keepers and contains only 100% Canadian honey. To meet interna onal con‐

sumer needs, they also have wide mouth, premium packaging prominently fea‐

turing the Canadian maple leaf. To meet all consumer tastes, Bee Maid offers

honey in a variety of formats: pasteurized liquid and creamed, unpasteurized

liquid and creamed, raw and premium clover.

Bee Maid’s two packing plants are con nuously abuzz packing honey

for most major grocery chains in Canada. They also pack for leading

food service distributors and many known Canadian food manufactur‐

ers. Their packed and raw honey is also shipped worldwide to loca ons

like Korea, Japan, United States and the Caribbean. Bee Maid has its

own blow mold facility allowing them to customize packaging to meet

their customer’s needs.

Quality is always on the forefront at Bee Maid and their commitment

to quality is second to none. Bee Maid is CFIA, SQF, HACCP and True

Source Cer fied. All interna onal inquiries welcome!

Gilbert Wolfe has always been sweet on bees. As a child, he spent hours observing honeybees in the fields of northern Alberta

where he grew up. His first summer job was extrac ng honey for a local beekeeper. When he was sixteen, Gilbert convinced his

father to buy him fi y beehives. Countless s ngs later, Gilbert extracted his first honey crop in an old granary and a beekeeping

business was born.

We extract, process and package thousands of pounds of organic honey each year at our family‐run apiary in Guy, Alberta. At

every step, our focus is on preserving the pure, natural goodness of honey. We’ve been cer fied organic for over 20 years, and

recently became the first apiary in Canada to be cer fied as non‐GMO. Peace River Honey is our family’s labour of love and we

Products: Honey Wine

Spirit Hills cra s the highest quality of food pairing wines with

local ingredients and a Alberta Rocky Mountain iden ty. Unlike

tradi onal meads, a good quality food‐pairing honey wine has

a similar acidity and PH than grape wine. It also has body, com‐

plexity, structure and length. The Spirit Hills honey wines offer

all that in a well balanced way with a lingering velvety smooth

finish. They are served in fine dining restaurants in Canada,

Japan and Europe. The winemakers at Spirit Hills layer the different flavour elements into the wine by choosing local ingredients

like rosehips or black currants for acidity, wildflower honey for structure and oak or flowers in the finish. Spirit Hills honey wines

are simply: One of a Kind!

"The way Spirit Hills manages to cra such structure and balance with flowers, honey and berries is impressive.”
