Honey harvesting is one of many initiatives to enhance and improve the local environment as a part of Bentley’s #GOTOZERO sustainable strategy.
A colony of 120,000 indigenous honey bees, taking up residence in May 2019, have now grown to an impressive 600,000 strong swarm across ten active bee hives at the company’s headquarters. Parallelling the company’s financial successes this year, Bentley’s very own extraordinary ‘Flying Bees’ too have had an exceptionally fruitful season.
The jarring and packaging process was carried out with the exacting attention to detail and resulting excellence that has come to be expected of the Bentley marque. The result was a record production of 1,000 jars of honey.
The specially crafted, ‘Bentley’ touch means that, in addition to sharing this honey with company colleagues, these elegant jars will also make unique gifts for VIP visitors and guests to the Bentley headquarters in Crewe.
Peter Bosch, for a Member of the Board of Directors for Bentley Manufacturing, comments:
‘Next year, we are celebrating five years of carbon neutrality for our site in Crewe, and biodiversity plays a part in this success. While we celebrate this, we don’t rest on our laurels, and constantly strive for new initiatives to improve our environmental impact even further.’
