In the modern day, it has become a staple of household pantries across the globe — spreading sweetness and adding a bit of joy, from breakfast to dessert. Honey is made by honey bees as a product of foraging for nectar and storing it as food within complex honeycomb structures. Producing honey is a year-round process with warmer climates such as Brazil (leading harvester of organic honey) and Argentina having the ability to harvest without an off-season. Billy Bee honey features a delectable blend of Canadian and Argentinian honey to create the taste you’ve come to know and love. The varietal of flower available to the colony of honey bees impacts the flavour and character of the honey, creating a range of honey available from mild, fruity, buttery, strong — much like wine.
