Struan Apiaries Ltd is an established, family-run bee farming business based at Burnside Lane in Conon Bridge, Ross-shire, operating on a scale that goes beyond a small cottage industry. Founded in the 1950s and developed over successive generations, the business manages several hundred bee colonies across the Scottish Highlands and supplies honey and related products to both individual customers and corporate buyers.
The apiaries are positioned across carefully selected Highland locations, allowing bees to forage on wild heather moorland and diverse native flora. This wide-ranging forage underpins the production of their signature Scottish heather and blossom honeys, which are harvested, handled and bottled with care to preserve flavour and natural characteristics.
In addition to retail honey jars, Struan Apiaries produces a broad range of value-added products including preserves, chutneys, mustards, sauces and speciality honey blends. These products are designed not only for individual customers but also for foodservice, gifting and corporate supply, reflecting the company’s capacity to produce consistently at scale.
Sales are handled through the company’s online shop with delivery available throughout the UK, alongside local collection from the Conon Bridge site by arrangement. While Struan Apiaries does not publish fixed visitor opening hours, it operates as a professional food producer with established logistics, packaging and distribution rather than an informal farm-gate operation.
By combining long-standing beekeeping expertise with commercial production capability, Struan Apiaries Ltd occupies a position as a significant Highland honey producer, supplying both retail and corporate markets while remaining rooted in traditional Scottish beekeeping.
