Brothers Greg and Glenn Honey grew up on a farm in Bracken, Saskatchewan. In 1979, they began building their own equipment to meet their needs, and their first major project was a tractor. They created and customized almost everything they needed for farming, and later began selling some of their equipment. Their most popular product was the Grain Belt draper header, which, thanks to a number of design features, significantly increased the productivity of any combine. By the fall of 1987, the Grain Belt draper header was becoming increasingly popular, so they decided to move production to Frontier, Saskatchewan. Today, Honey Bee has over 100,000 square feet (approx. 10,000 m²) of production and warehouse space, allowing the company to provide customers with truly high-quality and durable equipment.
