We are passionate about biodiversity, sustainability, science education and connecting with nature. In 2020 we decided to combine our experience in teaching with a life-long interest in beekeeping and launched Anglesey Bees to provide beekeeping training and experiences of a consistently high standard.
By now, with many out-apiaries across the south of Anglesey, we produce a significant quantity of award-winning Anglesey wildflower honey. We pride ourselves on the superior quality of our honey. Even after scaling up production, we retain the greatest respect for the honey, our bees and our environment. All the honey that we sell is our own award-winning raw honey, from the current season. It is a premium product, handled in small batches, with its taste and aroma rooted in the unique "terroir" of the UNESCO Global Geopark of Anglesey.
Even with a considerable number of hives, we don't regard ourselves as bee farmers. We have barely changed the traditional management practices that we adopted as hobby beekeepers decades ago. We are professional beekeepers!
At our apiaries, our bees have access to some of the most ecologically-rich habitats on Anglesey. At our home apiary, our bees benefit from diverse managed habitats, including a honeybee friendly deciduous woodland, planted in 2019, a spring-fed lake and clover pastures grazed by our closed flock of traditional pedigree Shropshire sheep - all of which contributes to the terroir of our honey.
