Paul and Liz started the African Bronze Honey Company in 2012 as the perfect opportunity to use their skills, talents and passion for making the world a better place by doing business.

The African Bronze Honey Company / 10,000 Beekeepers was created to market organic, fair trade forest honey on behalf of tens of thousands of forest beekeepers in southern Africa. The beekeepers earn a sustainable income from the honey harvest while they protect forests that last year alone, captured more than 200,000 tonnes of carbon. That’s almost 2 kgs per jar of honey. 

As a Canadian B Corporation and member of the Fair Trade Federation, the company has become recognized across North America as an innovative social enterprise offering high quality, ethical, food products for retail, wholesale and bulk markets., while adding value at source and helping to protect vast at risk forest areas that help fight climate change.
