Welcome to Zephyr Bee

Small family apiary, exceptional honey

Family Owned

A small, family-owned apiary dedicated to exceptional quality and exquisite taste.

Locally Sourced

From our apiary in Pefferlaw, Ontario, and carefully selected local apiaries north of the GTA.

Raw & Pure

100% raw, unpasteurized honey to preserve all beneficial nutrients and natural goodness.

Our commitment to quality extends to every step of our process. We employ a meticulous approach, removing loose particles like wax and pollen through a fine sieve to meet the high standards our customers expect.

Using a gentle, slow heat process that gradually brings the honey to approximately 38 degrees Celsius, we ensure it retains its liquid form for as long as possible, typically resisting crystallization for a month or more. This careful method is crucial, as excessive heat can compromise the nutrients and enzymes, leading to pasteurization.

At Zephyr Bee, we prioritize maintaining the integrity of our honey, delivering a product that encapsulates the richness of nature's goodness and exceeds the expectations of our valued customers.

Support a Beekeeper: Buy Local

Transforming beekeeping from a hobby into a business was a decision fueled by a recognition of the crucial role bees play in agriculture and their significance in the production of the foods we all consume.
