Zephyr Bee

Zephyr Bee is a small family-owned apiary with a reputation for the quality and great taste of its honey.

Our 100% “farmers honey”, is sourced from our own apiary in Pefferlaw, Ontario and select local apiaries north of the GTA. Because we use raw, unpasteurized honey, all of the beneficial nutrients are left intact. To ensure our honey meets the high standards our customers expect, all loose particles such as wax and pollen are removed with a fine sieve.

What is Honey?

Honey is a delightful food you can enjoy everyday. Its flavor and color vary depending on the locality of the flowers bees collect nectar from.

Honey has properties very different from just about any other liquid. Depending on the temperature around honey, it either flows fast (warm) or slow (cool). Genuine honey will never separate as it pours in a continuous stream. Unpasteurized honey crystallizes and hardens faster than pasteurized honey, and the most unique characteristic of honey is that it never goes bad. Honey is full of nutritional enzymes and has a very low water content (unlike just about every other food), allowing it to stay fresh for years.

Left untouched, honey will begin to crystallize after a month or two, and all natural honey will eventually turn solid. This natural process occurs quicker when the jar is left undisturbed for a period of time and in cooler temperatures. At room temperature, all natural honey will eventually crystallize. The rate of crystallization slows at temperatures below 30 Celsius.

Customer Testimonials

  • Vanessa K

    I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying Zephyr bee honey over the last few years and it is simply delicious.
    This high quality honey is minimally processed. It has a good consistency and a delicate and varied flavour. I found it to have beautiful aromas of firs and flowers from where it is produced.

    Highly recommend this natural and pure honey bee product of Zephyr Bee. Traditionally, tea or warm lemon water mixed with honey is an old- age remedy for a sore throat.
