Brother Bees Honey is a South African honey packer and supplier based in Cape Town. According to the website, the company began in 2010 on a fruit farm in Ceres: founder Greg Thijsse first kept bees and then moved into buying, bottling and distributing honey. In 2013 Brother Bees opened its first factory in Killarney Gardens; it started as a private-label packer for retailers and later added supply for hotels, cafés and food manufacturers.
The range includes Easy Pour Honey, Easy Squeeze Honey, 8g Honey Sachets, Honey Tubs, bulk honey, contract packing. The company's honey is a blend of South African, African and Chinese honey, which the website says is tested in accredited European laboratories. Brother Bees does not sell raw honey: all honey goes through controlled warming and straining.
Why this matters to you: Brother Bees Honey states plainly that its honey is a multi-country blend and not raw, so the brand is about practical formats rather than honey from one place.
