Sweet Beginnings – The Tu-Bees Story

From Childhood Dream to Canadian Honey Brand

What started as the dream of a 12-year-old girl in Saskatoon has grown into one of Canada’s most beloved honey companies. Tu-Bees was founded in 2007 when Nicole Hein—nicknamed Queen Bee—decided to start selling honey to save up for a horse. That childhood idea has since blossomed into a thriving, family-owned business run by Nicole, her sister Jessica (Worker Bee), and their mom.
From their prairie roots in Saskatchewan, Tu-Bees has built a reputation for high-quality honey products, honest ingredients, and genuine Canadian charm.

Honey, Made Simple

Tu-Bees’ mission is straightforward: make it quick and easy for people to enjoy real, flavourful honey. Their products are:

All-Natural – No artificial colours, flavours, or additives
OU Kosher Certified – Meeting high standards of quality and purity
Dietary-Friendly – Gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free
Canadian Made – Sourced and packaged with prairie pride

Whether it’s a squeeze-tube of creamy clover honey or a gourmet flavoured option, Tu-Bees makes it simple to add sweetness to everyday life.

Why Tu-Bees Stands Out

What makes Tu-Bees unique is the combination of family values, small-batch quality, and innovative convenience. Their signature honey tubes are perfect for lunches, travel, and on-the-go snacking—no mess, no sticky jars, just pure honey whenever you need it.

The Hein family has also expanded their line to include beeswax products, always with the same dedication to natural, sustainable ingredients.

Rooted in Family, Committed to Customers

Tu-Bees has grown, but its heart remains the same. Nicole, Jessica, and their mom continue to run the business with a focus on customer relationships and community connection. Every product reflects their family story: one of hard work, creativity, and the sweet rewards of following a dream.
