Company now has 500 hives dotted across the

Scottish countryside, equating to around 25 million

bees at the height of summer. It's also fully trackable

- from the hive to the jar. Unlike many other honeys,

every product from The Scottish Bee Company can

be tracked back to the brand's hives in the Lothians,

Dumfriesshire, Stirlingshire, Fife, and Aberdeenshire,

meaning that customers can have confidence in the

providence, authenticity and integrity of the honey that

they're buying.

Iain and Suzie believe that honey can be as complex

and varied as wine, coffee, and olive oil, and tell you

just as much about where it was produced. Suzie has

recently achieved certified Honey Sommelier status.

This is official recognition of her honey knowledge and

experienced palate, which can identify a wide range of

different flavours, aromas, and terroir.

All the range

The Scottish Bee Company currently produces three

pure honeys, including its award-winning Scottish

Heather Honey, along with Scottish Blossom Honey,

and Signature Blend Honey (a combination of blossom

and heather). The brand also produces a range of Shrub

Drinks, Beeswax Candles, and Vinegars. Other gifts are

available, such as Scottish honey and beeswax candles

and other candle varieties, such as cinnamon, nutmeg

and orange, and vanilla, cedarwood, and patchouli, or

you can sponsor a hive along with updates and photos

throughout the year.

Typical honey analysis: fructose: 38.2%, glucose: 31.3%, maltose: 7.1%, sucrose: 1.3%, water: 17.2%. The glycaemic

index of honey can range from 31 to 78, depending on the variety. In other words, it's going to absorb quickly and

release up all its (many) sugars into your blood stream rather promptly, so a smidgen could head off a hypo.
