Home » About Plan Bee » Why Our Work is Important
At Plan Bee, our mission is to protect and promote pollinators through sustainable beekeeping, environmental education, and community-driven action. We believe in creating a better future — one hive at a time — by empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to support biodiversity and make a real environmental impact.
Honeybees play a vital role in pollination, essential for crop production and biodiversity.
Scottish Roads Partnership have been supported incredibly by Plan Bee, to increase the biodiversity of the local area. Plan Bee’s expertise and knowledge of bees and their environment have assisted Scottish Roads Partnership in achieving 2 productive and healthy bee hives which has been enthusiastically welcomed by our Shareholders of the Project.
At Glengoyne, we believe in making a positive impact on the environment that surrounds us. That’s why partnering with Plan Bee felt like a natural step.
We’ve welcomed two beehives into our distillery grounds, helping support the recovery of Scotland’s bee population one hive at a time. It’s a small but meaningful way to boost biodiversity, encourage healthier ecosystems, and give something back to the landscape we’re proud to call home.
Plan Bee’s approach is simple, effective, and inspiring. Not only are we supporting pollinators, but we’re also seeing the benefits firsthand, from more vibrant plant life on-site to the sweet reward of our very own Glengoyne honey.
We started working with Plan Bee in spring 2025, introducing three managed hives across two of our sites. The team has been incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and proactive, making the whole process seamless.
The presence of the bees has been a great talking point with our colleagues and customers alike, and it’s been fantastic to see how this initiative supports both our sustainability goals and local biodiversity.
Working with Plan Bee has been an absolute pleasure. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in everything they do, and it's clear that they genuinely care about making a positive impact on the environment. Not only do they offer innovative, eco-friendly solutions, but their team is incredibly supportive, collaborative, and always willing to go the extra mile.
