A business with buzz

The Scottish Bee Company is making a beeline for the Far East market. Foodies in Japan and Singapore have an increasing appetite for more healthy and functional food from Scotland. Over eight tons of the company’s heather and blossom honey, which is worth around £100,000 and is destined for high-end health and speciality food retailers, will be exported to the Far East in the next 12 months alone. The honey is produced in the Lothians, Dumfriesshire, Stirlingshire, Fife and Aberdeenshire. scottishbeecompany.co.uk
