Honey for sale at Fairmont Ambassador Hotel in Yeongdeungpo District, western Seoul [FAIRMONT AMBASSADOR HOTEL]

From Nov. 14: Fairmont Ambassador Seoul has opened autumn sales of its own honey, produced as part of Bee Sustainable, a flagship Fairmont program, from Nov. 14 until stocks are sold out.

Fairmont Ambassador Seoul installed beehives at a location in the city’s Yongsan District upon opening last year, in order to promote healthy urban ecosystems and help protect honeybees. The hotel harvests fresh honey two to three times each year.

Embodying Fairmont’s spirit of protecting local ecosystems, this autumn’s crop of Fairmont honey is available to purchase at The Atrium Lounge on the hotel’s first floor. Made by bees visiting myriad wildflowers on the slopes of central Seoul’s Mount Namsan, Fairmont honey has been certified as safe for consumption by Korea Beekeeping Association. Offering the perfect gift for friends and family members, it is sold in sets of two 50 gram jars, priced at 30,000 won ($23), including tax.

“We plan to continue our efforts to promote coexistence between people and bees in the urban environment,” said Fairmont Ambassador Seoul Executive Chef Marco Torre. "We are passionate about creating limited-edition honey products each time we harvest a new crop of honey from our urban beehives, helping raise awareness among our guests of the value of honeybees.”
