While Bentley is no stranger to producing timepieces and fragrances—in addition to high-end automotive designs—its newest product, Bentley Honey, comes as an unexpected one. Earlier this year, in May, Bentley introduced hives to its Crewe site and now it is sharing the first harvest from two hives. More than 100 jars of the Bentley Honey have been produced, each of which features a luxurious label and the attention to detail that the brand is known for.
According to Peter Bosch, Bentley’s Board Member for Manufacturing, "We installed our first Bentley bee-hives earlier this year as a way to use our expansive site in Crewe to contribute to local biodiversity. Our beekeepers have seen the bees bringing in a wide range of pollens from the wildflowers we’ve planted on our site and the local countryside."
