One of our new collections this year was the ‘Bees’ range, which was inspired by my love for these amazing creatures. We are delighted to be involved with Bees for Business and to have adopted a hive - we’re already planning a toast and honey tasting session with our first jar!

What We Do
Simple, Fun, Effective
We provide honeybee hive adoption plans for organisations across the UK, making keeping honeybees
simple, beneficial and fun!
Our clients include Michelin-star restaurants, award-winning hotels, stately homes, retailers and
technology companies, who benefit from the unique marketing, PR and sustainability credentials.
THE NUMBER OF HONEYBEE HIVES IN THE UK HAS DECLINED BY 73%,
FALLING FROM 1 MILLION HIVES IN 1900 TO JUST 270,000 IN 2015
A Complete Service
We install your beehives here on our organic farm, care for them and look after everything on your
behalf – sit back and enjoy the fascinating work of the honeybee, with regular updates on your bees
including photos and videos of your hives in action throughout the year.
At the end of each year, we extract, jar and label the honey by hand, true to our artisan approach,
then deliver your hive’s delicious raw, British honey right to your door.
Each hive can contain as many as 80,000 honeybees at its peak, so we regularly inspect your hives
to prevent swarming and ensure their optimum health and well-being.
100% Raw, Award-winning, British Honey
All of the honey extracting is done here in our specially adapted 19th century barn, so there’s no
mess or fuss for you to worry about.
THE UK PRODUCES JUST 14% OF THE HONEY IT CONSUMES, COMPARED
TO A EUROPEAN AVERAGE OF 60%
Your honey will be as unique as your brand - a true signature of the landscape your bees forage on
- we tend to harvest set honey in the Spring (a result of the bees foraging on oil seed rape and early
Spring flowers) and then clear honey in the Summer (from tree pollen, ivy, wild flowers, hedgerows
etc). We send you a combination of both so you can marvel at the hard work of your bees!

Play a key part in helping to reverse
the decline of the honeybee and
improve environmental biodiversity
Enjoy delicious, 100% British, raw,
artisan honey from your hive!
Sustainable beekeeping, like
sustainable farming, is about
consciously striking a balance
between nature and human demand:
we take only the excess honey
produced by the bees, ensuring
that enough is left for them to
survive throughout the winter

We not only get the knowledge that we are helping to maintain the bee population, but we also receive honey from our very own hive, which we can either use as gifts for suppliers, or as a reward for staff. We’re really excited about this initiative and we hope that other companies will join in to ensure that the honeybee population is protected for years to come. Becky Naylor, co-founder and Director of Client Services, Bronco
The Many Benefits
Environmental Impact
Perhaps the most obvious benefits of partnering with Bees for Business are to the honeybee
population and the wider environment. In the UK about 70 crops are dependent on the honeybee to
grow. Yet, disease, pests and environmental issues are all playing their part in a national decline of
the honeybee population, so you really will be active in making a positive and important difference.
Community Credentials
Why not arrange for employees, stakeholders or customers to have a guided tour of your own
honeybee hive?
Your own honey, especially with bespoke labelling, which makes for especially unique corporate
gifts, offers an additional sales revenue opportunity and can be used most effectively as an exclusive
marketing tool. Use it in your on-site kitchen, sell it locally, or even donate it publicly to a local
community cause for them to sell and raise funds – the possibilities are endless!
We reinvest profits to provide free hives for charities and community projects, so Bees for
Business really is a win-win-win-win situation, which you’ll be making possible.
Press & Marketing
We encourage you to proudly let other people know about your organisation’s beehives – it’s
a topical, unusual and very often unique position to be in. That’s why we’ll provide you with a
complete press pack, including a press release template and marketing ideas to help you to achieve
industry, local - and possibly even national – press exposure.
Culture & Engagement
We’ll send you regular updates, which we have found make a welcome addition to email inboxes.
The photos and videos we take are yours to use, licence-free, to promote the exciting addition of
your honeybee hives!
