Even though The Bee Hive Cookbook doesn't state exactly who wrote and created this book, I was able to find out who the author was by looking at different types of secondary sources. For instance by looking through Elizabeth's Driver book, Culinary Landmarks a Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825-1949 I was able to figure out that The Bee Hive Cookbook was a collaborated cookbook that was written and organized by Mary Moore and was then published by the St. Lawrence Starch Company, Limited.

According to Elizabeth Driver's research, Mary Moore was a prestigious writer that worked for a newspaper company. Her articles usually focused on analyzing and discussing about food. While working at the newspaper company Mary Moore was also able to write a total of four different types of Cookbooks during her lifetime. (The Bee Hive Cookbook being one of those four published and created cookbooks). Mary Moore lived in two main locations throughout her life. Those two main locations were Hamilton and Toronto. On the top left corner is a picture of Mary Moore attained from Elizabeth Driver's book, Culinary Landmarks a Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825-1949. 

According to Elizabeth Driver's research, The St. Lawrence Starch Company was the corporation who had asked Mary Moore to write The Bee Hive Cookbook. The St Lawrence Starch Company was created in 1872 and was disbanded in 1999. According to the Ontario Government and Consumer Services websites (“St. Lawrence Starch Co.” and “St. Lawrence Starch Company Fonds.”)"the people who have organized, created and developed the St. Lawrence Starch Company are John Gray, Archie Hutchison, Robert Kilgour, Joseph Kilgour and Jessie Malcolm."

According to the Ontario Government and Consumer Services websites, and the Parks Canada/Historic Place website, the St. Lawrence Starch Company was “known for their different types of starch products as well as their well renowned corn syrup.” Below the Mary Moore portrait is an image of one of the remaining St. Lawrence Buildings that was preserved to this day for people to see and experience. This particular building that was preserved is the St. Lawrence Starch Company's Administration Building. According to the Parks Canada website this particular building was created in 1932. This particular image was taken by Chelsey Tyers in 2008 and uploaded by Canada Historic Place and Parks Canada website.
