The company initially produced honey, but soon shifted its focus to corn syrup, which became its primary product. Bee Hive Corn Syrup was marketed as a high-quality, all-natural sweetener that was a healthier alternative to refined sugar.
The company grew rapidly in the early 20th century, expanding its product lines and distribution networks across Canada and the United States. Bee Hive Corn Syrup was used in a wide range of food products, from baked goods to candies and soft drinks.
During World War II, Bee Hive Corn Syrup played an important role in the war effort, providing a source of sweetener for soldiers and civilians alike. The company's reputation for quality and reliability helped it become one of the most trusted and recognizable food brands in Canada.
In the years following the war, Bee Hive Corn Syrup continued to grow and expand, introducing new products and marketing campaigns to appeal to changing consumer tastes. However, the company faced increasing competition from other sweetener brands and struggled to maintain its market share.
In 1987, Bee Hive Corn Syrup was acquired by the American food company Corn Products International, which continued to produce and sell Bee Hive products under the Bee Hive name. Today, Bee Hive Corn Syrup is still available in Canada and is known for its distinctive yellow and brown packaging and all-natural ingredients.
