Do you know a fellow beekeeper, honey producer, researcher, or industry contributor whose leadership and dedication have made a lasting impact on Alberta’s commercial beekeeping sector?
The Alberta Beekeepers Commission is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Beekeeper of the Year Award – an annual industry award recognizing outstanding individuals, couples, or groups who have consistently demonstrated commitment, leadership, passion, and dedication to Alberta’s beekeeping industry.
As the largest honey-producing province in Canada, Alberta is home to an amazing community of skilled, innovative, and hardworking commercial beekeepers, honey producers, and research professionals. This award honours those whose exceptional contributions have strengthened and advanced the industry—whether through excellence in beekeeping practices, leadership, advocacy, research, or industry initiatives.
We invite you to nominate a peer whose work is helping to ensure a thriving future for Alberta’s honey bees and the honey industry.
