Bentley's swarm of 120,000 Flying Bees have produced their first crop of Bentley honey.
The bees, who only took up residence at Bentley's Crewe site in May this year, are proving to be every bit as productive as their human colleagues - and are set to generate an impressive first harvest of over 100 jars of honey from just two hives.
The honeycomb has now been collected from the hives and is being extracted by Bentley's beekeepers. This process involves each frame of honeycomb being spun in an extractor, after which the honey is carefully drained and filtered before being decanted into individual jars.
The jars and packaging will reflect Bentley's famous attention to detail, incorporating a label created by Bentley interior designer Louise McCallum. This special touch means that in addition to sharing the honey with colleagues, the jars will also make unique gifts for VIP visitors to its site in Crewe.
