About us at Anglesey Bees
My name is Dafydd Jones and with my wife, Dawn, we manage Anglesey Bees from our small holding in Llanddaniel, Anglesey.
After reading ecology, soil science and entomology for my honours degree at The University of London, I started my career and gained my Ph.D as an Environmental Research Scientist at the world leading Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth. For the following 20 years I worked as a teacher of biology.
We are passionate about biodiversity, sustainable food production, science education and connecting with nature. We both had successful careers in education and in 2020 we decided to combine our experience in teaching and a long-life interest in beekeeping and launched Anglesey Bees.
In addition to the bees, we manage wildlife habitats on the smallholding including a 1 acre lake and a honeybee-friendly woodland. We run a closed flock of pedigree Shropshire sheep for conservation grazing and market our luxury B&B and glamping business, called The Sweet Escape Retreat.
