Glengoyne ‘50,000 Bees, One Perfect Ecosystem’ – Scotch Whisky News
To mark World Bee Day (sorry, we missed this date but felt this was important enough to be shared regardless of the date ~ WI), we have welcomed 15,000 Carniolan honey bees to new hives beside our wetlands, where they are settling into life at the distillery.
Installed with our partners PlanBee, the upgraded hives are designed to better protect the colonies through the seasons, offering improved insulation and a more resilient home. As summer unfolds, each colony will grow to around 50,000 bees, quietly supporting biodiversity across our grounds.
In the film above, PlanBee’s Principal Beekeeper, Jodie Harrison, shares a glimpse into life inside the Glengoyne hives and the careful balance that allows them to thrive.
