Paskapoo Honey

Hi, Calgary!

About us

Paskapoo Honey is a small family owned apiary located in Calgary's Paskapoo Slopes. We produce top-quality, small-batch, local, raw, unpasteurized, creamed honey that is never mechanically filtered.

Creamed Honey?

Creamed honey is like the silky, sophisticated cousin of regular honey. It’s made by controlling the crystallization process to create a smooth, spreadable texture—no more hard, gritty chunks that make your toast feel like sandpaper. But the benefits don’t stop at its dreamy consistency! Here’s why creamed honey is a step above the rest:

Luxuriously Smooth Texture

Unlike traditional honey, which will crystallize and become solid over time, creamed honey is gently stirred to perfection in a holy-crap-that-was-expensive machine for up to a month (really!). It spreads like butter, making it the ideal partner for toast, bagels, and biscuits.

Zero Drip, Zero Mess

Tired of honey that dribbles, drips, and leaves a sticky crime scene in your kitchen? Creamed honey stays put. It’s neat, tidy, and perfectly portable for on-the-go sweetness.

Same Nutritional Goodness

Don’t let the fancy name fool you—creamed honey retains all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants of regular raw honey. You’re still getting that healthy boost in a smoother, more delightful form.

Extended Shelf Stability

The controlled crystallization process of creamed honey prevents large, gritty crystals from forming over time, so it stays smooth and creamy for longer. That means no reheating or waiting around for your honey to de-crystallize.

More Versatile in the Kitchen

Its thick, velvety texture makes creamed honey perfect not only as a spread but also as an ingredient in frostings, marinades, and desserts. It’s easier to measure, blend, and control, compared to the rock-hardness of crystalized honey.

Creamed honey is proof that you can have it all—natural goodness and modern convenience.

Tips & facts about honey

• Honey should never be microwaved as this kills the healthy enzymes contained within the honey.
• Honey bees have five eyes and six legs, and can fly at a speed of 24 km/h.
• That buzzing sound you hear when a honeybee comes near? That’s the sound of its wings beating up to 240 times per second!
• Depending on the time of year, one hive can contain up to 80,000 individuals – mostly female workers/foragers, a few hundred male drones, and one queen.
• Over winter there are no drones in the colony. In spring, the queen will lay specific eggs that hatch into male bees for that summer
• Female worker bees live for only 6 weeks, male drones live up to 8 weeks, and the queen can live for several years.
• Each hexagonal honeycomb cell can serve as either a storehouse for nectar/honey or pollen, or a nest for larvae.
• It takes the entire lives of 36 honeybees to produce one tablespoon of honey.
• it takes nectar sourced from about 2 million flowers to make just one pound of honey.
• One bee produces about 0.00011 horsepower.
• Honey stores ~3.5 kWh of metabolic energy per kg.
• A bee colony uses honey through winter just to keep warm, equivalent to a 100-watt heater running 24/7.
