One may notice the addition of a small bee on the Tip Top Poultry logo, website and other artwork associated with the company. This has led many to ask questions… What is the bee? Where did this bee originate? Does the bee have any symbolic meaning?

The bee that one sees had its origins with Tip Top over three decades ago. It was first printed on Tip Top’s “Top Bee” individually bagged baking and stewing hens. top_bee.jpgAlthough the hens were Tip Top’s “B” grade, their quality level was in fact higher than many competitor companies’ “A” grade hens. In fact, it was so high that the “Top Bee” became synonymous with the high quality expected with any product from Tip Top Poultry.

The “Top Bee” hen continues to be America’s leading brand of baking and stewing hens and may be found in your local grocer’s meat department.

The company’s values are built on 3 pillars: Quality, Service and Relationships. By focusing on these foundational blocks, the company has been a successful business since the two owning families acquired it in 1954. Tip Top Poultry will use the “Top Bee” as a friendly reminder of its long-standing commitment to produce industry-leading quality products.
