Scottish Bee Co

About

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.

About Us:

We craft pure honey and Scottish produce that not only tastes great but is minimally processed, rooted in sustainability and authenticity. Founded in 2017 by Suzie & Iain Millar, our journey began with a shared passion for environmental stewardship and making a positive impact.

Our Mission:

Concerned by the decline in bee populations, we set out to make a difference. Starting with providing bees to Scottish beekeepers, we soon expanded to supporting all pollinators. This led to the establishment of our sister charity, RePollinate, which promotes pollination through education and wildflower projects.

Our Approach:

As we continue to evolve, we are developing our product range to embody the essence of a true Scottish Larder, where we champion the principles of slow food and regenerative farming practices. Each ingredient we use at The Scottish Bee Company is carefully selected and deeply connected to the soil, climate, and environment that create them.

We are an award-winning honey company dedicated to increasing bee population in the UK.

Here at the Scottish Bee Company, 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.

What started with supporting local beekeepers soon grew into our sister charity, RePollinate, promoting biodiversity through education and wildflower panting. Today, we’re building a true Scottish Larder — celebrating slow food, regenerative farming, and ingredients that reflect the land they come from.

Our honey has received attention in the media due to the newly discovered, unique healing benefits of our heather honey and praise from the renown Nigella Lawson. It also tastes delicious as our Great Taste awards prove! And very excitingly, many of our food products have now gained Great Taste awards!
