Did you know that thereās more to Saint Valentine than Valentineās Day? Heās also the patron saint of beekeepers ā charged with ensuring the sweetness of honey and the protection of beekeepers. ā¤ššÆā¤
In this monthās Sweet Talk, we have some great suggestions to help you celebrate the love you have for your pals, your pets and your honey this month. We also have a sweet Instagram Valentine's Day contest running from February 1st to 13th.
February 20th is National Muffin Day and you KNOW we have some delicious muffin recipes to share with you.
In the spirit of Saint Valentine, weāre opening our archives to share an ad from 1948, showing the Manitoba Co-Operative Beekeepers selling a carload of Manitoba Honey to the Bay.

Delicate and delicious, BeeMaid Premium Clover Honey is created primarily from the nectar of white and red clover. For a little taste of spring, use our Clover Honey in this recipe for Honey Lemon Bars (shown in the photo).
Sweet and tangy lemon filling on a buttery shortbread crust; these are seriously the best lemon bars youāll ever make! Thereās no refined sugar as the crust and filling are sweetened with honey. If youāre a lemon lover, then these are for you. |

A look š at our archives |
|
We love going through our archives to pick something out for #ThrowbackThursday social media posts. Take a look at this gem of an ad from October 1, 1948. Before we were incorporated as Bee Maid Honey Limited in 1954, our co-ops (Manitoba Co-Operative Honey Producers and the Alberta Honey Producers Co-Operative) sold their honey directly to retailers ā like in this advertisement from the Bay Department store in downtown Winnipeg.
We continue to be proudly owned by our beekeeper members, which is why our labels showcase their photos on our classic line of BeeMaid Honey! |
