Black Bee Honey offers pure, single-origin, 100% British honey. Plus 2% of the brand’s turnover contributes to creating 1,000 acres of new wildflower meadows, a vital habitat for honey bees and other pollinators.

To support its goal of becoming Britain’s favourite honey brand, Omse collaborated with Black Bee Honey to create its new strategic positioning – ‘Keep British Honey Wild’ – and evolve its visual identity. The new brand aims to ‘free the bee’ with a wild set of characters that represent the brand’s key values and celebrate the landscapes and seasons in which each honey is produced.

Each aspect of the brand ecosystem is connected with nature – from a bespoke honey-inspired typeface to a colour palette reflecting British flora and art direction capturing a bee’s ultraviolet vision.
