BCB Honey Farm (4121 King George Boulevard) was founded by Dr. Iman Tabari, who came to Canada with the dream of producing medicinal honey. Soon after arriving, he became aware of the crucial demand for pollination bees. He now strives to revive the BC bee population. Iman runs thousands of hives over the Lower Mainland, and his bees pollinate a variety of local BC crops. BCB carries many varieties of raw, natural, unpasteurised honey, with all the nutrients from the hive, and harvested from ethically managed, local hives. With a convenient drive-thru store, getting this sweet treat has never been easier.
