Healthy bees, innovative producers and one super food.

Today, Alberta’s commercial honey producers manage over 20 billion bees, representing over 290,000 colonies, to produce on average over 33 million pounds of pure honey each year. That makes Alberta the #1 honey producer in Canada.

Alberta Beekeepers Commission has served the interests of Alberta beekeepers since 1933. Today, we support our 164 producers, work with industry and other partners to innovate and grow, and fund research to keep our bees healthy and our industry sustainable.
