Les Abeilles de Malescot

What Les Abeilles de Malescot does

Les Abeilles de Malescot, operating as SAS Domaine de Malescot, is a family-owned French artisanal honey producer headquartered in Bouglon, Lot-et-Garonne. The company manages over 300 hectares of proprietary melliferous flower fields and practices multi-generational organic beekeeping, producing cold-extracted, unfiltered, non-transformed monofloral honeys sourced from French regions including the Pyrénées, Limousin, Haute-Corrèze, Dordogne, and Marais Poitevin. Its core technology centers on slow-brossage infusion methods for combining honey with natural active ingredients (spirulina, royal jelly, propolis, ginger, turmeric, hemp, ginseng, fruit essences) and on hive-derived formulations for cosmetics and solid household products.

The product portfolio spans four categories: terroir monofloral honeys, gourmet and wellness honey infusions, natural cosmetics and solid household care (balms, solid laundry, dishwasher tablets, stain soap), and curated gift coffrets. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from €2.50 for honey spoons to €49.90 for gift boxes, with promotional mechanics (free-shipping thresholds, bundled coffrets, free add-ons over €30) designed to lift average order value. The business is privately held with no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no public market listing.

The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce through domainedemalescot.fr, company-operated physical boutiques for in-store tasting, and a dedicated B2B enterprise portal targeting corporate gifting and Comité d'Entreprise buyers. Distribution is domestic France, with marketing executed through content (blog), organic social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn), email/newsletter acquisition, and SEO, supplemented by visibility on the Ulule crowdfunding platform. Select co-branded partnerships include Maison Martin for spicy honey, and operational honey supply from SCEA de Samadet.
