Our Story

It all began back in 1969 when my grandfather started beekeeping in his back garden with one or two hives as a hobby. My grandfather grew his hive numbers over the years and in 2014, I was invited to visit the hives along with my local primary school. This is where my experience with bees began. From then on, I started beekeeping with my grandfather every Sunday morning. We would visit the local association and then visit the apiaries straight after. At 11 years of age, I was given my first hive.

In early 2017 my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and suddenly passed away. At the time, I had just turned 15 and with nobody else in the family that kept bees, I inherited all 30 hives. My dad was roped into starting beekeeping despite being petrified of bees!

This is where The Welsh Honey Company started.

In 2021 we are still a family run business with the same passion for our bees, Welsh honey and our amazing customers who make The Welsh Honey Company so special.
