Manitoba is recognised for consistently producing very high quality honey that can meet the most rigorous of international standards. The characteristics of the various types of honey produced are determined by the floral sources that the bees visit to collect nectar and turn it into honey. We produce an abundance of light coloured, mild flavoured honey, such as sweet clover honey, as well as more specialised honey with unique flavours and colours, such as sunflower honey and buckwheat honey. The hot summer days and clean fresh air so characteristic of Manitoba, guarantee that Manitoba honey will be low in moisture and always pure. As a result of Manitoba's high level of honey production , Manitoba beekeepers also produce an abundance of high quality beeswax.
Some beekeepers also produce and package high quality pollen.
