Take honey, for example. Recently, many brands have started to blend a foreign supply with a minimum percent-age of Canadian honey. As a result, less honey is required domestically and increasingly, more of it is imported into Canada. That's bad news for local beekeepers who depend on the demand for their product, as well as for the farmers that rely on bees for crop pollination.

But not all Canadian packers are giving in to the blended trend. Guy Chartier, CEO of Bee Maid Honey, notes that this producer-owned co-op has been a part of the Canadian food landscape for over 60 years.

“We source it all from our owners, and this structure ensures that our honey is of consistent quality year after year, bottle after bottle.”

Canadian honey standards are among the highest in the world, and the country's beekeepers work hard to meet and exceed those standards, Chartier points out. “So not only do companies like Bee Maid Honey support the success of our beekeepers and farmers, but you know that what you're eating meets strict health and safety standards.”

Be sure to read the labels on products the next time you're in a grocery store. It may be the best way for you to support local beekeepers and agriculture - and as barbecue season arrives, do try this delicious recipe featuring Canadian honey: m
