Angharad, Bee Curious Experience 27/7/24

What a brilliant day we had! Dafydd and his wife, Dawn has so much knowledge which is presented in a professional, relaxed, informative and fun way. I don't think I have ever learnt so much in such a short time! I cannot recommend this course enough. It would make a brilliant gift for anyone who is just interested in bees or who is thinking about beekeeping!

Rick and Gina, Bee Curious Experience 24/7/24

What a fascinating morning we had yesterday attending Dafydd and Dawn’s Bee Curious Experience. We enjoyed every part of their carefully planned three-hour exploration of the life of the honeybee, bee keeping and honey appreciation. Their commitment, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge for everything to do with bees was a joy to hear. We especially enjoyed seeing the thousands of bees in action in the different layers of a hive, while feeling completely safe inside our beekeeper’s suits. There were many other highlights too in what was a very memorable experience. We strongly recommend the Bee Curious Experience. Thank you!

Juliet Mc Bean Bee Curious Experience 7/7/24

Bee Curious is the best training experience! Wonderful couple who share their passion for honey bees. Fully recommend.

Kathryn Lewis, Beekeeper for a day 6/7/24

My partner and I recently attended the Beekeeper for a Day Course at Anglesey Bees with Dafydd and Dawn who were both really engaging and knowledgeable. We left the experience with a newfound appreciation for bees and really enjoyed suiting up and observing the bees in the apiary. I definitely recommend Anglesey Bees if you want to experience beekeeping or are keen to learn more about the process. We obviously couldn't leave with out a few jars of Anglesey bee honey! Thank you Dawn and Dafydd for such an interesting day.

Ajay Joshi 5/7/24 Meet the bees experience 5/7/24

My family and I are on a holiday from India and visited Anglesey Bees for a taster session on beekeeping last week. My wife is interested in beekeeping. We all found the detailed presentation by Dawn very informative and interesting. There were drinks on offer and dawn had the log burner going which was very considerate of her since my elderly in-laws were with us. Dafydd is very knowledgable about bees and our tour of the apiary was thorough and very informative. Their enthusiasm for bees and beekeeping shone through during the whole session. I would recommend this tour to anyone even remotely interested in bees and beekeeping. I guarantee that you would come away planning where to set up your hives! Thanks once again, Dafydd and Dawn.

Caron 2d Beginner's course 10-11/6/24

Dafydd and Dawn expertly guided me from complete novice to confident beekeeper ready to set up my own hives. The course offered an excellent blend of theory and practical experience, providing ample hands-on opportunities and valuable tips. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering beekeeping.

Vikky Stocks, Meet the Bees Experience 9/6/24

Very enjoyable experience. Dafydd and Dawn are very hospitable and super knowledgable about all things bee!

Dianne Partis, Bee curious experience 8/6/24

We had a wonderful time on a sunny June afternoon on our bee experience with Dafydd and Dawn and their bees. We were greeted and given cups of tea to hear Dawn talk and slides about the bees, workers, the queen and drones. A really fascinating insight into the lifecycle of a bee. Dafydd informatively showed us how hives are made up. We headed off in our bee protections suits across their amazing new woodland to see the bees in the hives. We were shown the bees on the frames making honey and feeding their larvae. On our return, Dawn had laid out the tasting pots, which gave us a real insight as to how honey from different times of the year and continents differ. We each made a candle to bring home along with some jars of honey that we bought. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative birthday present.

Alison and Angela, Beekeeper for a day 15/5/24

We had a fabulous 'Beekeeper for a Day' experience last week. Dafydd and Dawn have a brilliant set-up to share their passion for, knowledge about bees and skills in looking after them. The talk was fascinating; the honey-tasting and candle-making was great fun as well being an eye-opener (never again will I buy honey without checking the label!). The best bit was being able to see the colonies and individual bees close-up alongside Dafydd's thorough and rich explanations. Bee-community life is captivating and we would thoroughly recommend Dafydd & Dawn's professional and welcoming sessions to explore and 'Bee inspired'. 

Chris Teague Meet the bees and afternoon birthday tea 7/5/24

We recently had a meet the bees experience as part of a birthday celebration for my father. Dafydd and Dawn were hugely accommodating with regards to our booking and also access queries as mum uses a wheelchair. Dafydd shared his passion and wealth of knowledge  of the bees with us, which commenced with a presentation followed by us donning bee suits to join him across the paddocks at the hive. A fantastic photo opportunity of Dad and others in our group holding the hive frame and to ensure mum didn't miss out, Dawn and Dafydd had set up a live viewing hive back at the teaching room. Afternoon tea was prepared by Dawn and this was amazing, A fabulous selection of sandwiches, savouries and home made cakes. I can recommend a visit to Anglesey Bees highly enough  as this truly was an amazing day. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Hannah MacDonald  Meet the Bees experience 4/5/24

Myself, partner and son (5yrs) visited Anglesey Bees. Dafydd and Dawn were fantastic and so knowledgeable. The visit was tailored for our 5yr old so he could experience a bee hive without getting close (was a closed beehive) we were so grateful that they did this and he was fascinated. The talk by Dawn was engaging and so interesting even for our son who has the attention span of a gnat! I visited the hives and it was really an amazing experience. Would highly recommend visiting and of course buying the honey, it's delicious. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon on your beautiful property and being so patient with our son.

Trish Whitehead, Beekeeper for a day 4/5/24

Today myself and partner became bee keepers for the day, this was bought just as a cool experience however it was much better than a cool experience and turned into us wanting to actually become bee keepers! Dafydd and Dawn were both so welcoming and friendly and both incredibly knowledgeable. They taught us so much and in such a fun and none boring way! We had so much fun from looking at the bees under a microscope, to making our own candle, tasting different honeys to getting up close and personal with the bees. I could not recommend this enough!! It has been by far one of the best experiences we have done and the knowledge we have learnt will last with us. Thank you so much! We loved every minute and something we will consider for the future!

Steve Oldfield, Beginner's course 16-17/4/24

Brilliant beginner's beekeeping course! Dafydd and Dawn took us through from complete novices to feeling confident about setting up our own hive. A good mix of theory and practice and lots of hands on experience and practical tips. I thoroughly recommend this course if you are thinking about keeping bees.

Tania Nadin, Beginner's course 10-11/4/24

We had a fantastic 2 days with Dafydd and Dawn at Anglesey Bees, who were very welcoming. The course was well presented with a good mixture of theory and practical aspects of beekeeping, culminating in hands on hive inspection which was amazing. Their enthusiasm and knowledge of all things bee is infectious and I felt very comfortable asking questions and left feeling so much more confident in our beekeeping journey, which continued when we got home as our first nuc of bees was waiting for us! I would thoroughly recommend both the course and their delicious honey.

Barry Wells, Beginner's beekeeping course 10-11/4/24

The course was fantastic. Made to feel incredibly welcome. Well structured. Loads of interesting content and practical experience within the 2 day course. Lost of knowledge and experience shared. Would highly recommend it.

Katie, Bee curious experience 6/4/24

The experience with Dafydd and Dawn was wonderful! They were both so welcoming and knowledgeable. They explained so much about the bees and are clearly so passionate about conserving them. We had a great time learning about the bees, making candles, meeting some of the bees and tasting different types of honey!

Jane Roberts, Beekeeper for a day, 30/7/2023

Well, where do I start? What a brilliant experience - Beekeeper for a day course with Dafydd and Dawn.

I would be fibbing if I said I had no nerves about being amongst the bees before attending but any fears were soon put back stage once the course began. Excellent presentation from both and their teaching backgrounds shone through. Every question (and there were lots!) addressed and nothing too much trouble. The bees were mesmerising and relaxing to be around. Their intelligence and importance for the planet is well known but seeing them work at close quarters was humbling. Diolch enfawr Dafydd a Dawn. Cwrs arbennig.

Jonathan Hind, beginners course 22-23/7/2023

I thoroughly enjoyed "So, you want to be a beekeeper" beginners course. The two day class provided a perfect balance of classroom learning and hands-on hive inspections. Dafydd's infectious enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge made for an engaging learning experience. Donning protective gear and getting up close with the bees was a highlignt. I also appreciated sampling different honeys, thanks to Dawn. For anyone interested in getting started with beekeeping, I highly recommend the course. Two thumbs up!

David Boothroyd, Bee curious experience 6/7/23

Dawn gave us a brilliant morning, teaching us all about the bees and very patiently answering all or our questions! We even got to see a bee being born and we really enjoyed the honey tasting at the end. Would highly recommend to anyone who is even remotely interested in bees or beekeeping.

Adele Powell Bee curious experience 24/6/2023

My friend and I recently attended a Bee Curious Experience and we had the test time! The experience included an informative presentation, an opportunity to look at bee anatomy under a microscope, blind honey tasting, a visit to the hives, and finished with some candle making. The time just flew by and it was worth every penny. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks to Dawn and Dafydd for an unforgettable experience.

Paul Kinlan Beginner's course 17-18/6/2023

An amazing experience and learnt a massive amount. I had an introductory weekend to beekeeping with Dafydd and Dawn. They were incredibly knowledgeable and shared a huge amount  of guidance on how to keep bees and I now feel massively more confident. Such an amazing time. Thank you.

Joe, The beekeeper's hut, 26-28/5/2023

Just back from an amazing stay on Anglesey. We stayed at the Beekeeper's hut at Dafydd and Dawn's place and had the best weekend. Our hosts nailed the best balance of privacy and making us feel welcome by being super friendly. The hut in idyllic settings with large pond/lake a stone's throw away and a lovely walk through treelined meadows and their working beehives. Of a morning, we woke to a lovely continental breakfast of warmed pastries, overnight oats, boiled eggs, fresh tea and coffee and orange juice. We certainly could get used to al fresco breakfast on the decking. Shower facilities are in the main house but wasn't awkward at all as you get exclusive access during your stay. Thank you so much Dafydd and Dawn, we'll be back soon.

Richard Wolbold Bee Curious Experience 14/6/2023

A very informative and totally enjoyable experience with passionate hosts, extremely recommended for all levels.

Samir, Bee curious experience, 26/5/2023

Great experience. Dafydd and Dawn were excellent hosts and we learnt a lot about beekeeping and really give you the full experience, from handling bees in bee suits to blind tasting honey and much more. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

Lynne Williams, Bee Curious Experience 23/5/2023

My daughter and I spent a morning here on the bee curious experience and we would highly recommend it. We had a brilliant time and learnt so much about these incredible creatures, got to see inside one of the hives, taste-tested honey and made a candle. It was well worth the money and we would highly recommend it, whether you are looking at keeping bees or just interested in them. The only downside to us is they had sold out of honey.

Chris Hillier Bee Curious Experience 23/5/2023

What a fabulous experience. Very warm and friendly welcome and not only did we learn so much, we also saw bees up close in the hive. Would thoroughly recommend the experience and we will now be very careful where we buy our honey!

Alex Edge 2d Beginner's course 13-14/5/2023

I did the beginner's course and the teaching quality was excellent; being well paced and delivered with the confidence and knowledge that only someone who loves the subject can bring. The area is outstanding too. If you want to start beekeeping. Come here first.

Sarah Marsh 2d Beginner's course 22-23/4/2023

Just attended a 2 day weekend beekeeping course and wow what an excellent 2 days well spent! I now have the confidence to start my own beekeeping journey. Really informative and hands on, it covered everything needed to start my own hives, with the knowledge that there is help at hand if I get stuck or need help. Anyone thinking of starting beekeeping could not do better than booking a course with Anglesey Bees.

Mike Bakewell, Spring Management refresher day 10/4/2023

I've now had the pleasure of attending a full beginner's course last year and a Spring Refresher course just before my bees arrived two weeks ago. Dafydd is an exceptionally talented communicator, with a deep knowledge of bees and beekeeping and a readiness to answer my most obscure questions! Dawn (and fudge) were outstanding hosts too! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Anglesey Bees.

Maria, Beekeeper's hut, 6-10/4/2023

Dafydd and Dawn were amazing hosts, very responsive, attentive and caring. They made us feel at home and so we felt like we were visiting family. The grounds are stunning, they've done a great job with the surroundings, a lot of thought has gone there. If, like us, you enjoy wildlife, you'll enjoy your stay there. The small lake is inhabited by a couple of ducks and is visited by geese. The trees are home to a variety of small birds and an owl and the fields host a small herd of sheep. Dafydd is a beekeeper and so there are bee hives in the area, which you can avoid if you'd rather not go close to them. There's also Fudge, a super friendly terrier and Twmff, the loveliest ginger tom. Breakfast was such a treat, it included local ingredients and was prepared with so much love. The hut is really cute, perfect for a couple, and cosy enough for a romantic getaway. We'd love to be back! Don't forget to get yourself a jar of honey before you go!

Terri Wyn Jones 2d Beginner's course 5-6/4/2023

Such a welcoming couple. Gourgeous location and outstanding training! All areas covered with training. I felt so at ease and comfortable dealing with the bees. Dafydd made it a breeze! I feel more than ready to get my own colony, knowing I have the backup of Dafydd and the knowledge passed on. I seriously would HIGHLY recommend a training course here!!

Shazia, Bee curious Experience 1/4/2023

Excellent day out for us. New to beekeeping, very informative and friendly relaxed environment. Dafydd and Dawn were so accommodating and lost of fun. Lots of great chat and interesting aspects of beekeeping uncovered. We will definitely be back for future courses.

Luke Meakin Beekeeper's Hut, 26-29 August 2022

The best Airbnb stay we've ever had! In the run up to the stay, Dafydd communicated with me and gave extra directions to the hut with maps etc as they are literally off the beaten path. Both my partner and I are plant based and with the breakfast included, I messaged Dafydd to tell him, not expecting to be accommodated, as often happens when travelling, but he said it was fine and accommodated us accordingly. This was great and very touching.

When we arrived we were greeted by the two amazing hosts, Dawn..... and Fudge the dog! We saw Dafydd in the distance picking berries which were in our breakfast the next morning! Dawn was very helpful and was always available to us for advice, suggestions on places to see and when to go, history and even helped us pronounce a few Welsh words! Dawn went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and we really felt it. Thank you Dawn.

The Beekeeper's hut that we stayed in was built by Dafydd himself and has everything you need and more with sustainability in mind and is extremely well insulated! The two of them have a wonderful bit of land, which they have renovated and they use to keep bees and rear sheep. They are more than happy for you to take some of the walks around their property and see their bees and the 1000 trees they have planted, as well as meet some of their other animals like their resident ducks!

The place is in a great location, not too far from some amazing beaches and very close to the bridge across to the mainland. The two have a lovely place and it goes hand in hand with everything Anglesey has to offer! You won't regret staying here.

Alan Thomas, So You want to be a beekeeper, two-day course 20-21 August 2022

I attended the beginner's 2 day course at Anglesey Bees. Held in a beautiful setting and made welcome by Dafydd and Dawn. The course is aimed at giving the beginner like me the practical information and confidence to start keeping bees. The course had a small number of students (4) which allowed for plenty of individual attention. Dafydd's teaching is delivered in a relaxed manner so you can ask as many "stupid questions" as you like! The course covered the essential theory and gave invaluable hands-on experience of handling the bees and what to look for in examining a hive. Finding the queen and seeing her laying eggs with her retinue around her was amazing! There's so much more to learn but with Anglesey Bees' support, I am excited to begin my beekeeping journey. Thank you! Alan.

Chris Power, So You want to be a beekeeper, two-day course 20-21 August 2022

What a fantastic experience my son and I had on the two day course. All of the worries of beekeeping were driven away by the quality and amount of information and experience we picked up from Dafydd. Thank you so much. And we will stay in touch and let you know how we get on.

Amy, Bee Curious Experience 14 August 2022

My partner and I were really impressed with this experience! Dafydd and Dawn were both really lovely and very knowledgeable. We walked away feeling educated about bees, beekeeping and more. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's at all interested in beekeeping . We've gone from simply curious to very inspired! We also purchased some of the honey from the summer harvest and it is truly delicious. I don't see the jar lasting much more than a week or two!

Lee Banfield, Bee curious experience 30 July 2022

Visited Anglesey Bees today and really enjoyed the time learning about beekeeping!

Karen, Bee curious experience 29 July 2022

Being curious about bees, I booked myself and my partner into this experience to learn more about them. It was a fantastic experience! Very informative. Getting suited up and being close to the hives was the highlight for me. We even made a beeswax candle which we could take away with us. A very enjoyable experience. Dafydd and Dawn are both lovely people too. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in bees.

Stacey Topliss, So You Want to be a Beekeeper, Beginner's 2 day course 23-24 July 2022

This weekend has been all about the wonderful world of bees. We attended a two day beekeeping course with Anglesey Bees which was absolutely fantastic. Dafydd and Dawn have been amazing teachers and have given us the knowledge, practical experience and confidence to embark on our exciting new project. I cannot recommend their courses and experience days enough. Plus their honey is the best I've ever tasted.

Robert Mendham Bee curious experience 7 July 2022

An absolutely fantastic experience! We booked through Airbnb, which was a very easy process and we had great contact straight from booking. The experience itself was amazing and me and my partner both learnt a huge amount. We both now feel very knowledgeable about beekeeping and i'm even thinking about getting some hives at work. Dafydd and Dawn are both incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. They make you feel very welcome and at home at their gorgeous property. We both highly recommend taking a course at Anglesey Bees. Our course was only the three hour one but in that time we took in a lifetime of knowledge which we will carry with us forever.

Diane Horsman, Beekeeper for a day, 3 June 2022

BJ said he wanted to become a beekeeper, so I made it happen. The most amazing day spent with Anglesey Bees learning to care for the bees and how to set up ourselves ready to start our own beehive. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day or a better place to be educated. Thank you for an amazing day. One which is now very special to both of us and will take everything we learnt from you into our future.

Raya Reese, Bee curious experience 2 June 2022

What an amazing day! Dafydd and Dawn's knowledge and enthusiasm was amazing. My boyfriend bought this for my birthday and thought it wouldn't be for him, but wasn't he wrong! We were both enthralled throughout. I could not recommend Anglesey Bees more! Also the most delicious honey ever! 10/5 stars!

Caroline, Beekeeper's hut 2-4 June

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay in the Beekeeper's hut. Dafydd and Dawn were very welcoming and helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. The hut is in a beautiful setting with a lake with 3 friendly ducks at the back and a field of sheep in front. We would highly recommend.

Harry Shaw, Bee curious experience 2 June 2022

Wow, what an experience. Dafydd and Dawn's knowledge and passion for bees is so infectious. They explain all about them in so much detail which is easy to understand. Unbelievable experience even if you're just interested in them or a full time beekeeper. The honey tastes incredible too. We have left feeling happy and fulfilled.

Lia Cropper, Bee curious experience 29 May 2022

I had not much idea what to expect but decided to treat my family after reading fantastic reviews. Have to say we are joining everybody else in our rave review! Dafydd and Dawn had really thought out how to captivate us as adults and my two five year olds. There are so many things as a 36 year old I had no idea about bees. I have been chewing my friend's ears off ever since. Our visit was more than we anticipated and we fully enjoyed and would recommend to anybody. To top it off, Dafydd and Dawn are such lovely people. Go for it, an unusual experience, Thank you!

William Taylor, Bee curious experience, 28 May 2022

Top experience day! Highly recommended. Host couple were very welcoming with a strong passion for bees backed up with a deep understanding. We opted for the 3hr bee curious experience, which taught us why a hive is constructed the way it is, a hands on look at the inner workings inside a live hive, bee anatomy under the microscope, how honey is collected and the behaviour/life cycle  of bees. Followed by a honey taste test and making a bees wax candle. Great day out if you're interested in science or nature.

Callum, Beekeeper's hut 20-21 May

Dafydd and Dawn's place is an absolutely amazing location. Surrounded by amazing scenery, it really is a fantastic escape for any couple. The hut itself if so cosy and romantic. They are amazing hosts and will make you feel welcome and at home and they offered us very good advice on local beauty spots and walks. I couldn't justify giving anything other than 5 stars in every category! Perfect location for a base to explore Snowdonia. 100% recommended to anybody who is thinking of booking this place. You will not regret it!

Lowri Harrington, Beekeeper for a day, 21 May 2022

Wedi mwynhau yn arw iawn, diddorol dros ben a llawn gwybodaeth atyniadol ac addysgiadol. Mae Dafydd a Dawn yn amyneddgar, mae nhw'n cymryd eu hamser i eguro pethau ac ateb cwestiynau. Lleoliad hyfryd hefyd. Dwi'n edrych ymlaen at y cam nesaf.

Very interesting, engaging and informative. Dafydd and Dawn are patient, they take their time to explain things and answer questions, lovely venue too. I'm looking forward to the next step.

Rory Gardner, Bee curious experience, 15 May 2022

I had a amazing afternoon at Anglesey Bees. Learnt loads about bees and even made some candles! The overall experience with Anglesey Bees was an amazing memory, would definitely recommend!

Ffion Hughes, So, you want to be a beekeeper! 2 day beginner's course, 7&8 May 2022

As a novice to beekeeping, the two day course we attended was excellent. Situated in a beautiful location, Dafydd and Dawn made us feel at home. With a very well thought out course, patiently delivered with excellent communication, willingness to listen and answer all our questions with ongoing support provided. I could not recommend them enough.

Jane Trevor, So you want to be a beekeeper! 2-day beginner's course 7&8 May 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to beekeeping course that my daughter and I attended at Anglesey Bees. Dafydd is an excellent teacher and mentor and his knowledge and experience of keeping bees knows no bounds. Both Dafydd,  and Dawn and their little dog, Fudge gave us a very warm welcome. We left feeling excited and prepared to begin our adventure as beekeeper. Highly recommended.

Jim, Bee curious experience, 30 April 2022

We had a lovely experience today and the hosts Dafydd and Dawn really know their stuff and made us feel very welcome. Decent brew too!

Cecilia O'Doherty, Bee curious experience, 30 April 2022

We had such a wonderful experience with Anglesey Bees. Dawn and Daf were so welcoming. They have a wealth of knowledge on bees and put across all information in an interesting and fun way. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be coming back again for a two day course! Thank you for the experience!

Gemma, Bee curious experience, 30 April 2022

I bought this experience for my parents. This is their feedback. "we had a lovely experience at Anglesey Bees, the hosts, Dafydd and Dawn really know their stuff and made us feel very welcome. Fudge the dog and Twmff the cat were also very welcoming! 5 star experience.

Ben, Bee curious experience 30 April 2022

Dafydd and Dawn were very welcoming and accommodating. We really enjoyed our visit and left with a greater understanding of both honeybees and honey.

Sue, Karen and Olivia, So, you want to be a beekeeper! 2d beginner's course, 23&24 April 2022

Sue, Karen and Olivia attended the 2 day beekeeping course on April 23rd and 24th. We were welcomed by Dafydd and Dawn who were friendly and made us feel at home straight away. We had limited knowledge about bees and found Dafydd to have a wealth of knowledge, taught the course in a way we could all understand, and answered all our many questions. We were all fascinated and excited to study and be hands on with a bee hive. Dafydd was very informative and calm while we studied and looked through a bee hive. As being three generations of the same family it was lovely for us to spend the time together learning about our shared love of bees. We all highly recommend the beekeeping course, we all had a fantastic time and learnt so much about bees and beekeeping.  Thank you Dafydd and Dawn, we will all be back in the future.

Maisy, Bee curious experience 17 April 2022

This experience was informative, fun and incredibly memorable. Dafydd is a passionate and highly educated man and this shows in his clear, concise explanations of all things bee related! He cleared up some misconceptions, taught us about the anatomy and culture of (and dangers to) bees and beehives, then introduced us to his own bees, so we could see them up close in action. Dawn taught us a bit about honey and we got to make beeswax candles to take home, I don't think we'll will ever burn them but they'll serve as a lovely memento of our experience with Dafydd and Dawn.

Susan and Adrian Ward, So, you want to be a beekeeper! 2d beginner's course 13&14 April 2022

Perfect course to give you confidence to enter the fascinating world of beekeeping.

Chris Beekeeper's hut 12-16 April 2022

Me and my girlfriend had an awesome time staying at Dafydd and Dawn's  place whilst in north Wales. The location of the hut was fantastic, as it was close to Snowdonia and many major tourist spots. It was nice and secluded so we could just spend some time to ourselves. However if we ever needed any help at all on what to do for the day, Dafydd and Dawn were always there to help and provide us with great insight on where to go. They also made us feel very welcome and supported any of our needs. Each morning we had a breakfast delivered which was super tasty! The amenities were great and we would definitely be coming back again.

Hayley Turner, So, you want to be a beekeeper 2-day course 5-6 April 2022

What a fantastic experience! We feel well on the ladder to becoming confident beekeepers. The two-day course gave us everything we needed to start our exciting journey into the world of beekeeping. Thank you Dafydd and Dawn!

Karen, Bee curious experience, 2 April 2022

Had a very enjoyable experience on the 3 hour bee course with Dafydd. A great insight into beekeeping for a beginner, which has left me wanting to know more. Would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone with the slightest interest in bees.

Gary Melling, Australia, Bee curious experience, 27 August 2021

This is just a short note from my wife and I to express our sincere gratitude for the bee experience you provided at your property back on the afternoon of Fri 27 Aug. Both of us were quite taken by the professionalism of your presentation which covered so much in such a short time. We have done nothing but rave about the experience to our friends and family since returning to this part of the world and do wish both you and your wife, every success in your chosen field of endeavour.  Jayne and I knew bees were absolutely vital in the machinations of everyday life. After visiting you, we certainly feel they have a much better chance in getting that job done. Keep up the great work and we hope to visit you again when next in Wales.

Nushka, Bee curious experience, 13 August, 2021

Dafydd and Dawn were so warm and welcoming. Their little dog and cat welcomed us too, which made it feel even more like home. We have learnt a lot and found the whole experience very interesting. It was fascinating to learn so much of the lives bees. Thank you very much for having us.

Anna, Bee curious experience, 11 August 2021

This experience was absolutely amazing! From learning about the bees, to seeing the hives, learning about honey and making candles - we loved it all. Dawn and Dafydd are such lovely hosts, and they both are great teachers and so knowledgeable! Cannot recommend this experience highly enough

Chris Evans, Bee Curious experience, 3 August 2021

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience exploring the world of bees in the Welsh sunshine. Dafydd is a consumate professional and the time we spent learning about bees just wizzed by. Dawn is a brilliant hostess and it was clear that she does her utmost to make your experience comfortable and engaging. Fudge the dog and Twmff the cat are also brilliant hosts.

Susan Matthews, So you want to be a beekeeper beginners course 6 August

Just completed a very informative and inspirational 2 day beekeeping course with Dafydd. Excellent value for money! I would recommend this to anyone interested in beekeeping. Can't wait to get started now!

Pat Wilson, Llangefni, Bee Curious experience 16 July 2021

What an interesting morning I've had! 3 fab hours of learning about honey bees, their lifecycle and their products. Dafydd was friendly, informative and open to my many, many questions. I enjoyed seeing inside a hive and the way it works and even holding one of the frames. I also took part in a blind honey tasting - the results of which made me think hard about the honey I buy from now on. I would recommend this bee experience to anyone with a curiosity to learn about our little buzzy friends.

Simon, Bee Curious Experience 11 July 2021

A fascinating and inspiring, half-day, introductory course on bee-keeping, in a beautiful, rural setting. Dafydd and Dawn have created a really informative and practical visit for anyone interested in the science of honey bees and the importance of bees to the world. We loved it. It was great to meet Dafydd and Dawn, and Fudge (their dog) and the ducks. Thank you so much and we hope to meet you again

Laura Hoodless, Bee Curious Experience,  11 July 2021

We had a fabulous afternoon learning all about honeybees. Very interesting and highly recommend!

Tabitha, Manchester, Bee curious experience 11 July 2021

A fantastic and very educational experience! Highly recommend, absolutely loved the hands-on learning and interactivity with the bees and their honey. If you’re interesting in bees or want to become a bee keeper then this is the perfect place to start!!! Bee-rilliant! 

Arthur, Anglesey, So you want to be a beekeeper beginner's course 9 July 2021

This is a well thought out, well organised and extremely interesting course, that is expertly delivered by Dafydd in beautiful surroundings with a working apiary. The lives of these small creatures is absolutely fascinating, such that another course participant commented that the time simply flew by. I can only agree with that. If you want to learn about bees and beekeeping, having no prior knowledge whatsoever, then I believe this is what you need.

April, Cardiff, Bee curious experience, 8 July 2021

Fantastic day out! Very welcoming hosts and well thought out, varied schedule. Would highly recommend whether you have an interest in bee keeping or not. Dafydd took the time to answer any questions we had . We throughly enjoyed ourselves

Peter, Peterborough, Bee curious experience,   30 June 2021,

We went for a new experience and left feeling like we’d spent a few hours learning new things from our friends. Love of nature, habitat (and bees of course!) shines through and really makes this a treat. Interesting, informative, involving… thought provoking (you will see why). Just a very pleasant experience while learning a lot in a short time about our amazing honey bees. Highly recommended.

Fiona Farley-Hills, Conway, two day Beginner's Beekeeping course  11/4/21 & 13/6/21

Fantastic two day beginner’s course. Dafydd is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher.

Comprehensive handouts are supplied for future reference.

All three of us ( including 10 year old) really enjoyed it and came away with confidence to get started.

Highly recommend.

Joseph, Kent, Bee curious experience 11 June 2021

We had an amazing time. Dafydd and Dawn were incredible hosts. They were so informative and happy to answer our many many questions. They really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the experience and were also very helpful in recommending further activities. All in all this experience was as enjoyable as it was informative and we definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys bees or just has an interest in them.

Hana, London,  Bee curious experience 11 June 2021

Dafydd and Dawn were incredible hosts. Very knowledgeable and passionate, we had a wonderful morning with them learning about the fascinating lives of bees. They were very happy to answer all our questions and share their experiences with their beekeeping. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!

Ben Montgomery, London, Bee curious Experience 11 June 2021

Fabulous experience with Dawn and Dafydd - they are very knowledgeable, very friendly and are doing so much great work around bees and sustainability. Learnt all about Bees, their lifecycle, some awesome facts and all about beekeeping and how hives work live and reproduce - we even got to see bees close up under a microscope. We came from London for this and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

Matilda Reijs, Bee curious experience 7/6/21

We had an amazing time. Dafydd and Dawn were amazing hosts. They were happy to answer our many questions, and I’m definitely going to recommend them to my family.

Loved our afternoon at Anglesey Bees. Learnt so much about honeybees and the work of a beekeeper. Enjoyed our honey tasting too. Would definitely recommend

Sandra Warkentin, Trefor, Beginner's beekeeping course 30/4/21 & 7/5/21

 I recently took part in a fantastic two day beekeeping course. Dafydd and Dawn are very friendly and knowledgable. I learned a lot and am getting my own bees soon.

Jacqueline Williams-Bulkeley, Beginner's beekeeping course 13-14 April 2021

We spent 2 incredible days with Dafydd and Dawn. A great team, a fantastic education centre with warming fire and the best coffee! We came away knowing we could start our beekeeping journey with confidence. Dafydd is a brilliant teacher - calm, knowledgeable and passionate about bees. Dawn is so welcoming, we relaxed within minutes and loved every minute of our time with Anglesey Bees. My only regret - not doing this course sooner. We can't wait to join them for the next one.

Walid Abu Samra, Spring Management 1 day Course 21 April 2021

We attended a  1 day spring management course with Anglesey bees. Dawn and Dafydd looked after us extremely well, the facilities are brilliant, we learned so much from Dafydd who clearly is a very knowledgeable beekeeper with infinite enthusiasm. It was definitely worth attending.

Denise Garner, Halkyn, Bee Curious Experience, 24 April 2021

The Bee Curious Experience I’ve been to today was great! Learnt so much about Bees, thanks to Dafydd who explains everything about them so very well...it’s clear to see his passion & enthusiasm. A lovely location, super friendly welcome not only by Dafydd, but also Dawn, the cat Twmff, and Fudge the dog . Would thoroughly recommend.

Abigail, Bangor, Bee curious Experience, 9 April 2021

Really wonderful experience! We didn’t really know what to expect when we got there but they really took care of us! It was well structured and organized while being very relaxing! Nice mix of personal conversation and bee & honey related topics! Both Dafydd and his wife are very knowledgeable and great (retired) teachers - this really came through. They were very patient and made You feel very comfortable. Absolutely recommend to anyone! We now have a much greater appreciation and awareness for bees and the industry.

Suzanne, Conway, Bee Curious Experience, 3 April 2021

This was a birthday gift from my friends. We visited last Saturday and it didn't disappoint. wonderful facilities, fabulous location and perfect hosts. Dafydd is very passionate and knowledgeable about all aspects of bee keeping, and Dawn was a lovely host. u

I would definitely recommend this experience.

Kate Mclaughlin Conway, Bee Curious Experience, 3 April 2021

We had the most amazing experience here !!! Really welcoming and so knowledgable.  Would highly recommend.

Marie, So, you want to be a beekeeper! two-day beginners' course, 8 September 2020

Fantastic! I loved every minute of the two day beginners beekeeping course. Thanks so much to Dafydd for his excellent teaching using a good mix of theory and practical material. I was made to feel very welcome and have learned a huge amount. Highly recommended for anyone interested in bees.

Eloise, Bespoke whole-day bee experience for a group of 20 friends, 23 August 2020

We had such a fun day here. A big group of us came (our party leader had booked this as a surprise activity) so we honestly did not know what to expect. There really was something for everyone and it was interesting and exciting. The team catered to our group extremely well. The setting is so tranquil and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thank you for having us all!

Rachel, Jim, Martha, Estelle & Wilhelmina, Bee Curious Experience, August 2020

We wanted to write to thank you for the incredible experience we had last week learning all about your work. The girls are all still talking about it and want to educate everyone they meet! Wilhelmina went home and checked that the honey in the cupboard "smelt of flowers". Estelle has spent a long time on the phone telling her great grandma all about the queen bee and the hard working girl bees. We have such special memories so thank you again (I suspect we'll make a beekeeper out of one of them at least!) They wanted to write to you on this wildflower seed paper so you can plant it afterwards for your bees. They also wanted to send you a copy of Bee Movie as they think you will love it.

Kent and Mandy, So you want to be a beekeeper, beginners 2d course, 13-14 August 2020

The course was absolutely superb. Dafydd trained as a biologist to doctoral level & is a qualified teacher. So his approach to give budding beekeepers is to teach only the essential background facts progressing to practical work using a dummy populated hive followed by practical demonstration of hive inspection. 2nd day more classroom aspects reinforcing on dummy hive before we 2 students made practical live inspections in turn. More practical advice on feeding, disease control & choices of equipment rounded it off in lovely surroundings.

Ian,  Bee Curious Experience, 26 July 2020

My girlfriend and I stumbled on this by chance, and both being interested in bees but not really knowing much about them, this seemed like and interesting day out. But the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home, and Dafydd's knowledge and passion ensures there was never a dull moment, it was fascinating. He took us through every aspect of bee life before we got suited up. Seeing the hives and watching the bees at close range was superb, and the whole experience was fantastic, probably the highlight of our holiday. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you, Dafydd... Ian & Christine

Kathryn,   Bee Curious Experience, 25 July 2020

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Daf is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We would recommend this to anyone and can't wait to return for a beginner's course!

Sonny, Bee Curious Experience, 25 July 2020

We couldn’t rate this any higher!! Dafydd was extremely knowledgeable and a born teacher. Dawn met us at the gate and made us feel at home straight away she is lovely. Such a great experience and gorgeous setting. We can’t wait to book the beginner course.

Amy, Bee Curious Experience, 24 July 2020

 Much better experience than I was expecting. I knew it would be informative. But it never got boring, and it never feels like you have to know about it to understand. And he doesn’t make you feel stupid by asking silly questions. Which I did often! We came for the experience as it’s something we would never ever do. And we have learnt so much. I wanted to try and overcome some of my fear of bees, which I think I have done, and I wanted to learn what I can do to help the bees and look after them not only in my garden but in what I buy in my weekly shop. Not one question was left unanswered! Loved every minute of it! Perfect birthday present for my boyfriend as something different.

Fiona, So You want to be a beekeeper beginner's course, 21-22 July 2020

A fantastic course, Dr Dafydd is hugely knowledgeable, vastly experienced and superb at putting complex ideas over to total beginners. We arrived as complete novices and after two busy days, left as excited beekeepers eager to get started with our own hives. Great fun, masses of advice and complete satisfaction. If you are thinking about becoming a beekeeper, do this course, you will enjoy it. Thank you Dr Dafydd
