Celebrating More Than 60 Years! Capilano Honey is the market leader of honey in Australia, packing premium quality honey. Capilano Honey started as small family business with brother’s packing and selling their Capilano brand of honey to grocery stores around Brisbane (QLD) Australia in 1953. The humble business grew into a co-operative of Australian beekeepers, to a publicly-listed company that exports into over 33 countries world-wide, as well as being Australia’s number one honey.
The name ‘Capilano’ has a nostalgic connection. It means ‘rushing water’ in the language of the native American Indian tribe, the Squamish, who occupied the Capilano district near Vancouver in Canada. It was here that Tim Smith met his wife, Jill, while stationed in Canada as a RAAF flying instructor in World War II and proposed to her on the Capilano Bridge.
Capilano Honey is now one of the largest honey packers in the world with a capacity to process and pack over 45,000 tonnes of honey per year.
