Our honeypot: a Seine-et-Marn adventure.
How can you offer ultra-local, natural, responsible and ethical promotional gifts when you’re a company based in Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin, Seine-et-Marne (77)?
First, the team comes up with a plan of action!
The adventure began with beekeeper Monsieur Lourenço, who a few years ago set up hives along a wooded path near the orchard on the
ECT site in Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin.
That’s how we came tooffer to buy part of the site’s honey production .
The beekeeper then proceeded to potting in his workshop in Villeparisis (77), a few kilometers from the hives.
For the jar labels, we called on a printer, Roissy-Copy, located in Moussy-le-Neuf, just outside Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin.
Finally, the jars were labeled thanks to the expertise of ESAT, de
La Grange au Bois
located in Lagny-sur-Marne (77).
Our honey jars, packaged and ready to offer, come from within a 30 km radius of our offices. A source of pride for the Communication team.
I started with one hive and increased the number over time. There are now around twenty of them producing honey, as well as several fertilization hives. These are so-called "gentle" bees, so they can work with the minimum of pressure. I look after these hives two or three times a week, or even more depending on the season.
