WHAT WE STAND FOR

Founded by husband and wife duo Suzie and Iain, we have remained committed to their values:

• Ethically looking after bees

• Encouraging people to eat proper food and help them avoid ultra processed ingredients

• Exposing honey fraud within the UK

• Creating communities both in pollinator and food world

• Repollinating concrete jungles by bringing the bees back into urban life

“We create real and authentic Scottish produce with the knowledge that a sustainable relationship between food and the land has to be a reciprocal one.”

SHARING OUR LOVE FOR POLLINATORS

Suzie is now a proud honey sommelier and master in sourcing quality ingredients. Her attention to detail makes our flavours unique.

Iain is passionate about food authenticity and on a mission to raise awareness of honey fraud. He is the face of our brand at regular trade shows as well as working behind the scenes on our operations.

We’re incredibly proud to source strong British produce and work with fantastic British brands such as Hebridean Baker, Walkers, Baxters and many more. Hear more from Suzie on our Love Your Local Larder podcast where we celebrate locally-sourced food and the people who make it possible.

“The ingredients we use at The Scottish Bee Company are deeply connected to the soil, climate and environment that create them.”

OUR CHARITY

Sales from every SKU sold are donated to repollinate .

Repollinate is the reason we exist, we separated it into its own charity in 2018. Pollination is one of the most important ways we can help to mitigate climate change and maintain our food supply. Industrial farming and industrialisation have resulted in huge areas of land that have no habitat for pollinators. We are on a mission to reverse this.

Our team of four chartity team members plant on average 50 plant beds, educate 500 people and benefit hundreds of thousands of pollinators each year. Visit our website to find out more: repollinate.org.uk

“We turn concrete jungles into pollinator havens”

OUR CUSTOMERS

Our core consumer is:

I've just always thought "honey was honey", although sometimes you come across that cute craft honey that is good, but not life changing. This honey is life changing, pure and simple! I may never use another honey again! - K.Blair

One bite and I was immediately transported to a windswept Highland hill covered in heather with the cool breeze blowing in my face… A fantastic experience having this wonderfully fragrant honey permeating my senses and especially my tastebuds. I will say that this is one of the best honeys that I have ever tasted… I really would recommend this honey to anyone that enjoys magic in their mouth. This heather honey has just moved to the top of my list. - Richard

Absolutely the best honey I've ever had! The taste is so rich and smooth, it feels like a decadent treat... I'll have to be careful, or I'll end up eating it by the spoonful! - Carolina

MANUKA NO MORE! Absolutely delicious honey. Amazing that it is produced locally in Scotland. With its incredible health benefits, it truly is liquid gold! - Samantha

This is the mother of all honeys. I was always a so-so kinda person about honey, but this unique texture and depth of characterful flavour honey is amazing. - Sumalee
