Note

5. The Evolutionary Terminology
of the Beekeeping Industry
rise in interest and demand for honey and
products derived from it has occurred in recent
years, spurring innovation in the beekeeping
sector and the emergence of honey brands. These
companies are committed not only to producing high-
quality honey but also to ethical and environmentally
friendly beekeeping.
The creation of creative hive designs with the goal of
enhancing the productivity and well-being of
honeybee colonies has been a significant development
in the beekeeping sector. Some examples of these
designs are top bar hives, which permit natural comb
building, and flow hives, which permit honey
extraction without upsetting the bees.
In the process, a lot of honey companies are making
efforts to make sure that their beekeeping methods are
ethical and sustainable from an environmental and
social standpoint. This includes adopting organic
farming techniques, assisting nearby beekeeping
groups, and lowering their carbon footprint.
Insights Success takes pride in reforming its Latest
Edition – Top 10 Honey Brands That Will Drizzle
Your Toast, subjectifying the advancements in the
beekeeping industry and the rise of honey brands that
prioritize sustainability and ethical practices are
encouraging signs for the future of the honey industry.
As consumer awareness and demand for
environmentally and socially responsible products
continue to grow, honey brands continue to prioritize
these values in their operations.

Revolu onizing the Face of Honey Produc on
and Suppor ng the Beekeepers
The world is full of multiple organisms that support
the Earth’s ecosystem. One of the peculiar ones is
bees. They help pollinate seeds and supply
ecosystems with food. Looking at the current scenarios,
nature is at alarming risk!
Bees hold a crucial role in the ecosystem. The shortage of
honey as hives produces lesser amounts, and factors such as
pesticides and climate change effects only add to the
question.
Thought of what would happen if bees just disappeared
from the ecosystem?
It would lead to a sudden collapse in the natural ecosystem
affecting the food chain on numerous levels and ultimately
affecting the lifecycles of humans.

11. THROUGH THE MEANT TO BEE
MODEL, THE SUCCESS OF OUR
SME BEEKEEPER PARTNERS IS
OUR PRIMARY CONCERN AND
OBJECTIVE, AS THEIR SUCCESS
ENSURES OUR FINANCIAL
SUSTAINABILITY. THE ULTIMATE
DREAM IS TO SEE OUR AFRICAN
BRAND FILL THE SHELVES AT

,,
,,

12. Thus, to save the natural ecosystem and bees with their bee
hives, Driene came up with the ideation of supporting all
the dimensions of the process. From bees to bee hives and
providing essential equipment.
Driene Botes, Founder, and CEO of Meant To Bee, one
who notices the gap in the industry, took her enthusiastic
steps towards them by stepping into the arena with full
confidence in shedding off the significant issues that occur
behind the scenes.
Meant To Bee is a honey company that empowers small-
scale beekeepers with an introduction to the business,
training and ongoing mentorship in sustainable beekeeping,
and access to the market, all under a common brand.
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?
Let’s dive into the world of honey of Meant To Bee and
learn more about it!
The Beginning of the BEE Era
After the research in South Africa about rural beekeepers,
and by that they found that the rural beekeepers don’t have
access to the market or funding to grow, and they have the
knowledge the know-how. So, they built a business model
based on it to support the backdrop of rural beekeepers of
SA. We give them training, extra equipment like hives,
physical equipment to work with, and much more.
Currently, they are busy developing an app to monitor the
hives, the activities of bees, and the environment around
them. Their Beekeepers are important to them.
In South Africa, there are thousands of small beekeepers,
but due to a lack of knowledge, and access to the market,
they can’t grow the industry or either provide more hives
for them. Hence, Meant To Bee support beekeepers with
their hives and hive equipment as well as providing training
and mentoring them over a 3-year intensive period.
On top of that, they help harvest honey and, from there,
take it to the market, so they get immediate access to the
market instead of selling it from their own hands.
The Charismatic Leader
While talking about Drienie being a born entrepreneur, She
became a mom quite early in her life at the age of 23 and

EXISTING HIVES TO
SUPPORT THEMSELVES,

THEIR COMMUNITIES.

13. Drienie Botes
Founder & CEO
Meant To Bee
now is the mother of 2 kids. As a mother,
she didn’t want to go continue her
endeavors in the corporate world.
In the last few years, she has done
vigorous research work and
studies at Gibbs Business
School. Later she started
importing jewelry business
from China to South Africa,
and it hit the records head-on.
While talking about
professional careers
respectively, Drienee states,
“I had some good years with
a lot of bad years too.”
Depicting her journey, she
came from rural areas where she
lived in a very strict African
family. Currently, she is a single
mom and brought up two kids by
herself. Her elder son is a 28-year-old
doing a Ph.D. while her daughter works
at a very influential company in South
Africa.
Down in the line, in researching the honey industry,
she understood that without bees, we (humans) would not
have food and much more. Thus, the need for more bees to
survive increased. Given the fact that bees populate almost
rd
1/3 of the population.
One of the highlighting specific things about the Meant To
Bee Business is that they not only support beekeepers but,
most importantly, they support food security which is
essentially an important element in the food manufacturing
industry.
Drienie’s love for working with beekeepers has been
abundant in the past ten years. She has done upliftment
within the rural communities where she provided training.
During the training process, she noticed a gap in the market
despite the people of South Africa being passionate about
their work. Thus, her love for helping them get access to the
market increased.
I KEEP KNOCKING ON DOORS
AND DO NOT GIVE UP. I
BELIEVE IN MY DREAM, AND I
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

Meant To Bee had the privilege earlier this year to exhibit in Dubai
inside the South African Pavilion. That has been their very first
Interna onale exhibi on and a learning curve. Drienie has done a few
courses this year to enhance her own business to educate herself
regarding Interna onal trade and the circular economy.

15. Another interesting element of working with bees and
beekeepers is exciting unless it bites; that’s another story
altogether.
Major Offerings Of MTB
The services they offer majorly support small beekeepers
and provide each beekeeper by giving them 150 hives and
give them needed support while catching bees at each base.
They give each beekeeper intense training so that after
allotting each 100 hives, they facilitate them with 2 two
additional people to support them endlessly.
During the winter season, it is crucial to feed bees so that
they are ready to produce honey in the summer and give
them proper care and nutrition as bees are fit. They start
working in summer with full flesh towards producing honey
in South Africa, in 3 months of summer, where the business
truly furnishes.
As the harvesting of honey starts in the months of
November, December, January, and February, these are
mostly busy for them, as they are harvesting honey in
various areas.
In the upcoming year, Meant To Bee is planning to start
pollinating and currently getting to a point where
beekeepers understand the industry very well. While talking
about the power point, Drienie states that “If a beekeeper
has only 40 hives, what amount of money will they make
would be tripled if we are supporting them with 150 hives.”
At MTB, they also teach feeding their bees and increase
harvesting of honey. Thereby increasing the harvesting of
honey. The youth that depends on honey is much higher,
and if beekeepers are trained in a better way, they will know
their business better. The scenario is completely different
without feeding the bees and not following a proper regime.
Hence, they claim it is extremely important to do the right
training for beekeepers and provide money to beehives and
get a better edge in the peak season.
They particularly aim the production raw honey without
mixing any additivities in it. They try to give it a raw,
natural, and better flavor. They do not mix any sugar or
preservatives in their honey.
“When they say it’s raw honey, it is completely natural raw
honey you’ll get from them.”
,,
,,
FIRSTLY, I WANT TO SEE
MEANT TO BEE’S HONEY
ALL OVER THE WORLD,
IN EVERY SHOP, AS A
RECOGNIZABLE BRAND.

16. It is the process of harvesting raw honey to get it into the
bottling plant with pure honey and no sugar. They need to
work with pure raw honey. It is also very important to
educate the industry about this because people in South
Africa, but by looking at the price of it-
Drienie claims, “It’s not the price that matters but the
purity, richness of honey that matters the most. It is pure
hard work, and it’s hand harvested. If you want to buy raw
honey, you’ll get it raw from with its richness in flavor and
all.”
The core of the Hive
Meant To Bee is taking the international raw, natural honey
market by storm and is negotiating with local and
international customers. Not only is it offering a premium
African product, but it’s allowing customers to be a part of
something bigger than themselves and uplift those less
privileged.
The business allows previously disadvantaged beekeepers
to use their existing hives to support themselves, their
families, and their communities. There are no extra
expenses to the beekeepers who supply Meant To Bee with
its premium honey. The partnership allows a beekeeper with
40 hives to make a profit of about R42,000!
Thus far, the company has attended two exhibitions,
SAITEX and the Hotel and Hospitality Show. Drienie has
already booked a spot at SARCDA Christmas and the
Natural and Organic Show. She is also planning to attend
various international exhibitions in 2023.
But it isn’t all sunshine and roses. When Meant To Bee
started, Drienie quickly realized that SME beekeepers,
particularly black-owned enterprises in rural areas and from
disadvantaged communities, faced many challenges,
including predatory pricing tactics from larger honey
buyers, lack of market information, lack of access to
capital, inability to access financing, and a lack of
operational support. Meant To Bee addresses these
challenges through a partnership with its SME beekeepers.
Honey Harvesting
For the last ten years, Drienie has been working in
communities and has seen the exciting ideas of these
entrepreneurs and business people. She observed quite early
they often don’t have the knowledge or resources to get
their ideas to the market, but Drienie did! She realized
many disadvantaged beekeepers had incredible products
without the means to get them to the market. Inspiration hit,
and she started Meant To Be. She hasn’t looked back since.
Through her experience in marketing, communications, and
SME development, she assists the beekeepers her business
identified to thrive.
They are building a quality brand with premium products
that uplift small beekeepers.
Deeds That Stand Apart
Meant To Bee is taking the international raw, natural honey
market by storm and is negotiating with local and
international customers. Not only is it offering a premium
African product, but it’s allowing customers to be a part of
something bigger than themselves and uplift those less

However, it isn’t all sunshine and roses. When Meant To
Bee started, Drienie quickly realized that SME beekeepers,
particularly black-owned enterprises in rural areas and from
disadvantaged communities, faced many challenges,
including predatory pricing tactics from larger honey
buyers, lack of market information, lack of access to
capital, inability to access financing, and a lack of
operational support. Meant To Bee addresses these
challenges through a partnership with its SME beekeepers.
Tech Advancements into Meant To Bee
The team meant to plan the Unicorn Incubation initiative
from Dr. Akintoye Akindele (training by seasoned mentors,
business leaders, and advisors; access to accounting, legal,
and financial professionals at no cost to the participants;
networking opportunities with other entrepreneurs and
global industry participants; access to funding of up to $1
million; support to access local and international grants
raised by Unicorn or its affiliates.)
Further, they plan to inculcate the SheTradesZA
opportunity. While offering online courses around export
readiness through the International Trade Centre and The
Global Business Accelerator or SME Export Incubator with
the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The
support and preparation from these courses have been
invaluable in preparing her and the business for
opportunities and funding.
Drienie adds, “Through the Meant To Bee model, the
success of our SME beekeeper partners is our primary
concern and objective, as their success ensures our
financial sustainability. The ultimate dream is to see our
African brand fill the shelves at international outlets, and I
believe that we will, despite the challenges.”
Walls of Impediments within the Beehives
No business venture is without obstacles, and Drienie and
her team have faced their fair share, including navigating
the lonely journey of entrepreneurship, the flood of ‘honey’
into the market that affects the price of raw, natural honey,
and securing much-needed funding.
One huge door that has opened up for Drienie and Meant To
Bee is being selected as one of 25 African entrepreneurs to
take part in the prestigious Unicorn Incubation initiative.
She hopes the course will take them to the next level and
open doors for funding.
Another challenge has been finding the perfect match for
the beekeeping project, “There are thousands of beekeepers
and people with available land that would like to be part of
our project, but we do not have enough funds to
accommodate them all.”
However, Drienie isn’t shying away from the challenges.
She says, “I keep knocking on doors and do not give up. I
believe in my dream, and I have faith in God.”
Envisioning Future
The Future goals of Meant To Bee are to venture into the
international market like USA, Germany, Japan, Saudi
Arabia, and many more to enhance their business
progressively.
Educating the public about raw honey, its benefits, why
they should look at product labels, and the difference
between raw honey, irradiated honey, and imported honey is
another goal the company is striving upwards.
Drienie envisions dreams and goals for the future ahead of
Meant To Bee, “Firstly, I want to see Meant To Bee’s honey
all over the world, in every shop, as a recognizable brand.
People must know that when they buy from us, they buy
raw, natural honey from a small African farmer. The world
must know the African story!”

than 17 years?
It’s fascinating to reflect and look back after all these years.
Being an engineering graduate from NIT Trichy, it was
rather unusual at that time to think about Human Resources
as a career option. However, my stint with a leading
training provider for Management education allowed me to
assess my skills and motivations and fuelled my interest in
the power of Human Resources. I realized how it is a key
driver for achieving competitiveness through the power of
people. It was a conscious choice to pursue formal
education and take up Human Resources as a career.
Having worked extensively in multiple industries, and
regions, I’m excited about the possibilities of how
technology can influence better talent and business
outcomes. Human Resources is clearly at the forefront of
shaping the direction of the organization through data,
insights, and innovative HR practices.

22. Can you describe your journey as a Global HR Leader
in a digital era, including any challenges you may have
faced and how you overcame them?
The use of technology in Human Resources is seen as the
most significant driver of change in modern organizations.
It has opened up new horizons and unlocked novel
approaches to raise the bar of the HR function. In a digital
era, businesses today operate in a highly dynamic,
uncertain, and pressured environment looking to guard their
competitive advantage against the competition, economic
conditions, and technology shifts. As a result, they are
constantly in pursuit of HR Technology that can help
address skills gaps and retention to stay ahead of the game
by keeping in sync with changing employee demographics
and their unmet needs. This is even more vital for scaling
organizations looking to balance growth with an eye on
building an agile, modern digital HR organization.
Tell us the challenges scaling organizations face,
especially in light of a trade-off between strong
customer growth and investing in building an evolving
HR organization.
A scaling organization often grapples with several
competing priorities, including customer acquisition,
raising investments, ensuring a steady and growing
revenue stream, and evolving its product/services
portfolio. An important aspect that can work in
favor or against is the availability of skills and
costs associated with bringing the talent.
Entrepreneurs and founders of successful scale-
ups understand the significance of investing in
HR Technology tools and systems at a time
when they see evidence of having done enough
to differentiate themselves in the market/industry
tools and a good mix of customers with repeat and
new business. The scale-up phase is about making
things more structured and needs a completely different
mindset and skills, abandoning the nimbleness of start-
up. For example, you want to grow from 30 to 300 or from
500 to 1500 people.
With this context, organizations need an HR infrastructure
that supports their growth aspirations. Depending on the
business model, some invest in Talent Acquisition tools and
systems, which can engage with passive talent and keep
them ready in the pipeline. Others prioritize standardizing
employee life cycle processes and automation to improve
the employee experience. Additionally, organizations with
onsite-offshore leverage establish a presence in low-cost
www.insightssuccess.com

23. countries like Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, and India,
not only to ensure better revenue margins but also to open
up budgets for modernizing their HR function.
You led the scale-ups and international expansion of
several high-growth technology organizations in Europe
and North America. What are some of the lessons
learned, and what would you advise HR Leaders with
similar visions?
Scaling up a tech company is akin to a roller coaster ride,
necessitating a solid partnership with the executive
leadership. Founders and CEOs work towards specific,
quantifiable business goals, which can be intimidating,
leading HR leaders to avoid raising challenges and risks.
However, in addition to sharing positivity and wins, HR
leaders should transparently communicate risks, challenges,
and limitations. The key to successfully navigating high
periods of change and uncertainty is creating a safe space to
discuss challenges, both internal and external, while
proactively assessing risks to people, critical business
processes, and technology to achieve better business and
people outcomes.
International expansion requires clear planning, weighing
current business practices and infrastructure, organizational
readiness, and future market potential. As an example, we
developed a technology tool in one organization that ranked
countries based on several factors such as talent and skill
availability, legal compliance, regulatory framework, ease
of doing business, hiring costs, infrastructure costs, wages,
and exit challenges. This tool is crucial as expanding to a
new country can be a bumpy ride and may not always go as
planned. Additionally, language barriers, shifting customer
expectations, competitors, and new cultural norms may
present challenges that must be addressed.
You have been an ardent advocate of embracing and
adopting HR Technology in the workplace. How does
HR Technology drive business value in the
organization—and how does HR help maximize that
value?
HR Technology has immense potential and has been
demonstrated to be a game-changer for many organizations.
The concept of Employee experience has allowed us to see
the journey of the employee life-cycle and identify
opportunities to improve this based on different employee
demographics. It’s fascinating to see that today we have
ChatGPT and other forms of artificial intelligence are
leading the charge toward a new era of work.
It’s difficult to think about one area within Human
Resources that remains untouched by Technology. The
other aspect that has made an impact is the HR data. Data
and analytics have a profound impact on making informed
business decisions ranging from a simple use case of
reduction in the total time to recruit to predicting changes to
employee motivation and needs to make customized
employee journey mapping to influence retention of top
talent.
What does the future augur for HR Technology and its
adoption, especially in light of the challenges faced by
AI?
In these highly unstable times, organizations must not only
survive but also adapt to maintain their relevance to
customers and communities. However, macroeconomic
factors such as inflation, talent scarcity, low consumer
morale, and fear of recession make it challenging for
modern organizations. The adoption of HR Technology
varies based on the type of organization, its industry,
maturity, and stage. HR Technology will continue to
challenge organizations and HR leaders to think boldly
about opportunities to elevate the HR function. For HR to
offer value to business leaders and entrepreneurs with HR
technology, a data-led approach will play a significant role
in securing executive buy-in for investing in HR technology
for organizations that are behind the curve. For instance, the
post-pandemic workplace settings look different, moving
away from the norm of remote work, which creates
retention challenges for organizations. Consequently, there
is an increasing momentum to explore and develop tools
and technology to bridge the gap between the office and
remote employees driven by changing employee and
workplace needs.
,
,
,
,
A culture of growth and
development is not a luxury,
but a necessity for

28. NC machining is a type of manufacturing that uses
Ccomputers to control the tools in a machine. The
term CNC stands for computer numerical control,
and it refers to how these machines are programmed. A
CNC machining service is ideal if you need precision parts
or prototypes made quickly and at a low cost. In this article,
we'll discuss what makes these services so useful and how
they work.
What is a CNC machine?
A CNC machine is a computer-controlled milling or drilling
machine. It uses a program to control the movement of the
cutting tool, which allows for greater precision and
accuracy than would be possible with manual machining.
CNC machines can be classified according to their axis
systems: Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate
systems (SCS). Each has its own advantages-for example,
SCS machines are well suited for large parts with complex
geometries because they make fewer assumptions about
how your part will be oriented in space.
What are the benefits of using a CNC machining
service?
There are several benefits to using a CNC machining
service. One of the most important reasons is that it allows
you to make sure that you have the right tools for your
business. You can also get help with developing new
products, which will save time and money in the long run.
CNC machining can be done remotely, so you don't have to
be on-site while this process takes place. This makes it
easier for companies who don't have access to space or
equipment at their location but still need these services
performed in order to stay competitive in their industry.
How do you find and choose a good CNC machining
service?
o Ask for a CNC machining quote to find out the exact
prices.
o Find a CNC machining service that has been in
business for a long time.
o Look at reviews of different CNC machine shops and
choose one that gets good reviews from its customers,
especially if they're similar to you (i.e., they do similar
work).
o Find out what equipment the company uses and make
sure it's up-to-date on technology and will give you
results with high precision and quality standards that
meet yours or surpass them.
How much does it cost?
CNC machining costs depend on the complexity of your job
and the materials you want to use. The cost will also be
affected by the size, geometry, and number of parts that
need to be produced.
The speed of your machine will affect how much it costs
per part, as well as whether or not you can produce multiple

29. parts at once (which is often cheaper than running one job
after another). You'll also need to factor in labor costs if
your company has employees doing this work manually
before investing in automation.
Are there any other types of manufacturing services that
can be useful for small businesses or startups?
Yes, for example, if you're looking to create prototypes but
don't have the equipment necessary to do so, consider using
3D printing services instead. This will allow you to get a
feel for what your product will look like before investing
too much time and money into it.
CNC machining is one of the most popular manufacturing
services because it allows companies like yours to get their
hands on high-quality tools quickly and affordably. If this
sounds like something that might interest you, contact us
today!
Conclusion
CNC machining is one of the most common types of
manufacturing, and it's done by many different companies.
Because this industry is so competitive, you need to make
sure that your product is made well and delivered on time
before choosing a CNC machining service provider.

due to its many benefits for both consumers and the
environment. Organic honey is produced by bees
that collect nectar from flowers that have not been
treated with pesticides or other chemicals, and the bees
themselves are not treated with antibiotics or other chemicals.
This type of honey is produced using sustainable farming
practices that prioritize the health of the bees and the
environment. Organic honey is not only a natural source of
nutrition but also has a better taste and is free from chemical
residues that may be present in conventional honey.
Moreover, the production of organic honey has a positive
impact on the environment, including promoting biodiversity,
protecting bees, and using sustainable farming practices. In
this article, we will explore the benefits of organic honey and
its effects on the environment in more detail.
What is Organic Honey?
Organic honey is produced by bees that collect nectar from
flowers that have not been treated with pesticides or other
chemicals. The bees themselves are also not treated with
antibiotics or other chemicals that can harm their health.
Organic honey is produced using sustainable farming
practices that prioritize the health of the bees and the
environment.
Benefits of Organic Honey
1. Nutritional Value
Organic honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants. It is a natural source of carbohydrates and
provides instant energy to the body. It also has
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can
help improve digestion, boost the immune system, and
promote overall health.
2. Better Taste
Organic honey has a distinct flavor that is often
described as floral or fruity. It is less processed than
conventional honey, which means it retains more of its
natural flavor and aroma. Organic honey also has a
smoother texture and is less likely to crystallize than
conventional honey.
3. Environmental Benefits
Organic honey production has a positive impact on the
environment. Bees play a critical role in pollinating
crops and wildflowers, which helps to maintain
biodiversity and ecosystem health. Organic farming
practices also prioritize soil health, water conservation,
and the use of renewable resources.

Swedish Bee Company and Mats Olofsson’s journey to
becoming a honey sommelier. It is a story of passion,
dedication, and commitment to bringing the best of
Swedish honey to the world.
Unwind and Enjoy—A Nice Read Awaits You!
From Our Very Own Bees
The Swedish Bee Company is committed to providing the
best and most flavorful tastes possible. They sell Swedish
honey under their own brand, The Honey of Sweden. They
produce this honey with the help of their own bees and
other carefully selected beekeepers, but they also
collaborate with other companies to provide different types
of Swedish honey.
From Hobbyist to Honey-Sommelier – A Journey of
Sweet Rewards
Mats Olofsson started with bees in 2015, intending to have
one colony in his backyard. Fascinated by their work and
the important role they play in nature, he jumped on a
professional beekeeping training course. In 2018, he
founded the Swedish Bee Company to combine his
previous professional experiences with beekeeping and its
fabulous product, honey.
The focus of the Swedish Bee Company has been to offer
“The Honey of Sweden” to an international audience. To
better serve this goal, he is currently taking classes in honey
sensory to develop his taste and aroma sensitivity to
different kinds of honey and become a honey sommelier.
This is to be able to offer the best honey there is, with high
diversity.
Major Key Factors
Best locations: The Swedish Bee Company selects the best
locations for their bees, such as remote areas with clean air,
water and soil.
Natural methods: They keep the bees healthy and strong
through natural methods, so they can focus on collecting
nectar and pollen rather than fighting pests and diseases.
Allowing them to harvest at their leisure: They allow the
bees to harvest at their leisure to ensure that the honey
matures naturally.
Best possible equipment: The Swedish Bee Company
invests in the best equipment for extracting and handling
honey without compromising its quality.
Expert beekeepers: The company collaborates with the
beekeepers.
Safety: They ensure each batch of honey is laboratory
tested for safety.

February | 2023 34

37. Building Blocks of Success
To work in harmony with nature: They want to keep
honey as natural as possible all the way to the consumer
because it is a completely natural product ready to eat from
nature.
A minimum of processing: A gentle treatment catered to
keeping the natural flavors, aromas, and wholesome
elements in the honey.
Care for the bees and keep them healthy: There are
several natural and man-made threats to bee health. The
company takes the necessary precautions to help the bees
by using natural organic pest control methods and keeping a
safe distance from pesticide-treated fields.
It must be real: They don’t cut corners at the expense of
quality. They use high-quality equipment and allow the bees
to work at their own pace. It may take more time and effort,
but it is well worth it.
Natural is the Way
This is non-processed and natural food, as opposed to
highly processed factory-produced food. They don’t mix
honey to make them all look the same. Every harvest is
unique, and once it is over, it does not return. Instead, there
will be new honey.
Adapting to Evolving Tech with Traceability and Unique
Tastes
Traceability is important. They want to be able to show the
consumer where the honey in the bottle they are holding
comes from, all the way down to the bee yard. They believe
that this, combined with a description of the honey’s
distinct flavor, will provide the consumer with a complete
experience. Today’s use of smartphones in every pocket
also gives opportunities to offer a lot of product information
just by providing a QR code for people to scan.
Transform Challenges into Growth Opportunities
During the summer beekeeping season, we must constantly
adapt to nature. The effects of the sun, rain, cold, and heat
on bees. Swedish Bee Company always has a plan in
place, but they are aware that it will need to be changed.
However, this also serves as the foundation for the variety
of honey available.
Scaling Up: Exploring the New Markets
They want to expand into a variety of markets and
industries. HoReCa, or the hospitality sector, as well as
high-end retail stores. Their goal is to offer various types of
Swedish honey that represent Sweden as “The Honey of
Sweden.”
They have the capacity to tap; this is not a bottleneck. They
will intensify their search for different batches of high-
quality Swedish honey from different parts of Sweden.
Celebrating Success: Clientele
