G&V HOTEL CASE STUDY
G&V HOTEL CASE STUDY
PROJECT To install and manage rooftop hives and harvest honey for G&V Hotel, Edinburgh.
SERVICES The introduction of our G&Bees has given a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘fit for a queen’! The abundance of parks and flora around Edinburgh have created the perfect environment for the bees, and they produce wonderful honey that is served to our guests every morning.
Simon Garrow,
G&V Hotel Operations Manager
Plan Bee Ltd installed the hives, manages the honeybees and extracts the harvest on G&V’s behalf. The honeybees are free to forage around Edinburgh’s many parks and green spaces, giving their honey its own unique taste. G&V’s excellent honey is packaged in elegant jars, designed and branded exclusively for G&V by our design team. We supply G&V with frames of honeycomb and have created a lip-balm for them, made with beeswax from their own hives.
BENEFITS With its values of “Care, Create, Cultivate”, the 5* G&V Royal Mile Hotel in Edinburgh looks to support Scottish businesses and source local food for its restaurant. What could be more local than the hotel itself? The G&V is the first hotel in Edinburgh to host its own rooftop beehives. Plan Bee Ltd supplies the bees along with the expertise to manage them. G&V Hotel truly embraces the locavore concept with G&V honey for breakfast. Guests can also sample the exclusive honey at their award-winning Italian restaurant, Cucina, where executive chef Mattia Camorani is showcasing it within a range of inventive and delicious new dishes – straight from hive to plate.
