ABEL & COLE CASE STUDY
ABEL & COLE CASE STUDY
PROJECT Plan Bee Ltd installs three beehives at Abel & Cole’s headquarters in Wimbledon.
SERVICES Plan Bee provided expert guidance and coupled with their knowledge and passion, give us insight into our hives’ activities. They’ve been very quick to solve the few problems that have occurred. We have thriving hives and great honey.”
Marta Salvà,
Abel & Cole Sustainability & Environmental Manager
Abel & Cole’s bees have been installed under their new partnership with Plan Bee, who provide the specially branded hives and regular maintenance of the colonies under a hive rental agreement. Future honey crops will be harvested by Plan Bee and bottled under Abel & Cole’s own label, designed by our team. True to our shared ideals, the honey will be cold extracted and minimally filtered to preserve its unique flavour and health benefits.
BENEFITS After 28 years in organic food, Abel & Cole’s green credentials are firmly established. Although active in educating customers about environmental issues, one vital element was missing until the latest arrivals at their Wimbledon headquarters – their three beehives Wimbledon may not be an organic farm but urban bees are valuable too, helping local diversity and even gathering a sustainable crop. For Abel & Cole their bees are a way to demonstrate commitment to ethical food production and respect for the pollinators that are essential for sustainability. The hives help to remind and educate staff and customers of bee’s important role in our food production. Plan Bee shares the values and ethos of Abel & Cole, as a business that not only cares about good food but truly cares about the environment.
