At the Kiwanis meeting today, Hillsboro business owner Brent Barkman presented his company’s involvement in the Bee Movie.
Barkman is the Chairman of the board of Golden Heritage Foods. They process honey for a number of markets. He noted that he and others in his company had been officers in the national honey trade group. They knew that the Bee Movie was being produced and made a pitch to Dream Works to be part of the promotion process for the movie. In January 2007, they, along with other honey marketers, went to Hollywood to meet with movie developers to brainstorm how the honey market might be promoted with the release of the movie.
After getting a private meeting with Dream Works people, they were able to show a prototype of the Barry Bee honey bottle. The result was a contract to use the Barry Bee likeness on the bottle. They are now distributing the 2 ounce honey bottle nation-wide.
Next up for the Golden Heritage folks is getting an E-store up that will provide Barry Bee honey products. It is scheduled to be ready just before Christmas at www.ghfllc.com.
