Get to know our team you will see responding to comments and emails today. Please say hi to us and our amazing team :)
Hi 🙂 We are Matt and Annanie and we started Forever Bee almost 9 years ago from the ground up. We have 5 kids and 2 grandkids and most of them have been involved in the business to some degree. They have helped with beekeeping, making candles and flavoured honey, and staffing markets. We are so appreciative of having such a loving family, a hard-working team to help us, and an incredibly supportive community.
Hi, I'm Ritzie! I am Matt and Annanie's daughter and I have been with Forever Bee since the very beginning and have loved watching as we continue expanding our production and develop meaningful relationships within our community. When I am not helping out behind the scenes, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.
I’m Kathy, aka Aunt Kathy. Knowing I’m Matt & Annanie’s most favourite Auntie in the world 🙂, how could I resist being involved with their family business while doing what I like to do most - Digital Art Illustrations & of course eating honey? Forever Bee’s honey is the best I have ever tasted so being part of their team to spread the sweetness is to me, “the bees knees”!
Hi, I'm Kira. I'm Mom to a bee-utiful 2 year old and brand new baby squish. I love being a part of the Forever Bee Family. This year has been particularly interesting to see our team adapt to the unpredictable changes in today's world. I'm so proud to be a part of this family.
Let me introduce myself: my name is Heather and I am lucky to be the lady who delivers your honey in the Calgary area. I also help in the warehouse and when markets are running, I love to introduce Forever Bee products to customers, old and new!
Hi, I'm Lanice! I am fun, outgoing, and a self proclaimed pun master. I work in the main warehouse and take pride in the hand crafted products that are delivered to you. In my spare time you can find me playing music and signing at local gigs.
Hey, I'm Cat! The youngest of Annanie and Matt's daughters and a new addition to the team - I get to talk to all you lovely folks online and help with all our social media! I have literally seen this business grow since day one and have never been anything less than amazed at the community it has brought together!
Hey there, I’m Sinead! I’m new to the warehouse team here with Forever Bee, so I get to have a hand in getting those amazing products out into our communities! I am so excited and happy to be a part of such a wonderful team :)
At Forever bee we LOVE all things honey, but there is nothing better than delicious, chewy honeycomb straight from the hive! Join us in this video to see the behind-the-scenes of how we harvest our honey from our hard working bee friends!
We are giving away a 1 lb container of honeycomb today.
Send your questions and comments to us for an entry into the giveaway! Invite your friends, place an order, text us again and you could be the lucky winner.

Our Creamed Clover honey is an absolute favourite with most of you :) The reason why most folks love this is because of the smooth, creamy taste, the mild flavour and the fact that it will never go hard nor crystallize.
We never heat this honey nor do we filter it so all the goodness and antibacterial properties are still active. This is also the reason why your honey will last forever, because it is raw.
Raw honey can be used for burns, cuts, coughs, sore throats, allergies and keeping your immune system strong.
We love it in our coffee, tea, yoghurt, lemon water and all the cooking and baking as sugar replacement. Here is a favourite family recipe of ours that was handed down the generations. This recipe is so fun to make and the end result is well worth the work!
GIVEAWAY!!
We would love to see pictures or read the recipes of your favourite recipe you've made with creamed honey! Send us your entries to be entered to win a free 500g jar of our Raw, Creamed Clover Honey.

This is by far one of my favourite beekeeping videos. In reality it takes about 10 minutes to get properly dressed for beekeeping. Matt has done such a "sweet" job of speeding up that process in this video.
For those who always ask: yes, we are fully clothed under our beesuits :) Even on days that it is 35 degrees out. It gets really hot!!! Ask us your questions and we would love to chat with you.
We'd love to know.. How many bees do you think live in a hive? Let us know by call/text 403-915-0454 or email sales@foreverbee.ca

8 Years ago we decided to start making an all natural body butter with ingredients that are safe to use regardless of your skin type. I am also allergic to everything so I wanted to create a product that I could safely use all over my body and will not cause a breakout, rash or itching.
Well, we did it. Our all natural body butter is a beautiful blend of organic, raw, crude products just as nature intended. Everything in our body butter is safe enough to eat - which means it is safe and nourishing for your skin. One of the most amazing benefits of our body butter is that it can be used on your face, body, hands, feet and hair.
We decided on the following ingredients:
Organic, Crude, Raw, Ethically Sourced Shea Butter from Ghana:
Nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F
Naturally anti-inflammatory
Natural sun protection
Prevents against premature wrinkles
Highly absorbable
Helps soften dry and damaged hair
Raw, Organic, Crude Cacao Butter from Equador
Large amounts of antioxidants
Helps prevent wrinkles and signs of aging
Moisturizes hair and provides strength; prevents dandruff
Anti-inflammatory
Great for eczema and psoriasis
Raw, Organic Apricot Kernel Oil
Loaded with Vitamins E and K
Powerful antioxidants
Naturally anti-inflammatory thus helps with eczema and psoriasis
Highly absorbable by the skin
Strengthens hair and prevents and reduces dandruff
Forever Bee Beeswax from Alberta
Creates a protective barrier on the skin
High in Vitamin A
Naturally anti-inflammatory
Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal
Read more about the amazing properties and benefits of our all natural body butter
Forever Bee Raw, Unfiltered Clover honey mixed with Organic Ceylon Cinnamon is a natural anti-inflammatory, and the tastiest cinnamon you can get. Our Ceylon Cinnamon comes from a small organic farm in Sri Lanka - one of the last places on earth where real (Ceylon) Cinnamon is still grown.
Did you know that there is a huge difference between the Cinnamon most folks purchase from the store and Ceylon Cinnamon? Most Cinnamon in the world is grown in Vietnam and other places. This type of Cinnamon is not the real thing. Visit our website to find out more about the differences in Cinnamon and the amazing health benefits of Ceylon Cinnamon.

It is that time of year again where we need a little warmth to be able to stay outside for longer. Or you might be one of the lucky ones that still has a wood burning fireplace in your home.
These all natural fire starters are made with the very best; pure beeswax, dipped onto cinnamon spice scented pine cones. Not only are these the perfect way to start your fire on the holidays, but the best smelling decorations for on your mantel. Smell the fresh pine blend with the all natural beeswax, and you may never want to go anywhere without one!
This is one of the fun ways in which to use our Beeswax. It is so easy to make. Melt down the beeswax in a double boiler and dip your pinecones in the beeswax about 5 to 10 times. You can even tie little ribbons around them and hang them on the Christmas Tree. What a fun afternoon activity and your friends will love the gifts.
GIVEAWAY!!
One lucky person will win a 3-pack of our firestarters. Call/Text 403-915-0454 or email sales@foreverbee.ca with a favourite memory or tradition around the fire (at home or outside) and you will be entered to win.
All orders over $125 will also receive a firestarter as part of their FREE Gift with Purchase.
Candles create the perfect ambiance no matter what mood you're setting. Are you getting spooky for Halloween, setting up a romantic dinner, or getting ready for the Christmas season, or even getting married? With all different styles, ranging in size, design, and shape, these candles make the perfect gift or centre piece.
We love getting to craft and mold these candles. Each candle is made with 100% natural beeswax, burning for hours on end, leaving whatever room you put them in smelling fresh.
Pure beeswax candles are perfect because they do not drip, they don't smoke and they clean the air while they burn. Their light is also the same spectrum as the sun, which is great for stimulating "happy hormones".
Also, because beeswax candles do not drip they have a much longer burn time than most other candles.
GIVEAWAY!!!
Call/Text 403-915-0454 or email sales@foreverbee.ca with your favourite ways in which to use candles and you will be entered to win a package of our votive candles :)
Health conscious living isn't just for humans, it's for all living things including bees!
Being health conscious isn't just thinking about what goes into your body, but where that food comes from and the health of the animals - or insects- it comes from.
We take care of our bees to protect them and keep them healthy, so that the honey they produce is the healthiest and tastiest it can be for you.
We are ready to answer all your questions and respond to your comments. We would love to talk with you about the health of our bees :) Connect with us via call/text 403-915-0454 or email sales@foreverbee.ca
