Local Honey in Monmouthshire

Find honey in Monmouthshire on the map

Monmouth was named the UK's first Bee Town in 2020, after the county council, the town council and the Monmouth-based charity Bees for Development worked to make the town friendlier to pollinators. The council's 'Nature Isn't Neat' campaign, for example, leaves verges and green spaces to flower. Bees for Development's Bee Shop, just off Agincourt Square, sells locally produced and African honeys, Welsh mead, honey beer and beeswax goods.

The county's producers are spread from the hills around Abergavenny to the lower Wye Valley. Blorenge Mountain Bees keeps bees around the Blorenge, breeding its own dark, locally adapted stock rather than importing queens. Its wildflower summer honey is sold in Abergavenny shops and at The Bee Shop. Near Caldicot, Hive Mind Mead & Brew Co has hives at more than 20 sites in the lower Wye Valley and puts all its honey into its meads, including a dry Welsh heather mead, as well as selling jars of raw Wye Valley honey. BC Bees at Gwehelog, near Usk, keeps each apiary's honey separate rather than blending it, and at Llangybi, also near Usk, Honey Bee Beautiful is mainly a skincare maker but sells jars of raw, unpasteurised Welsh honey online.

For swarms and beekeeping help, Gwent Beekeepers covers Monmouthshire along with Newport, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly. It collects swarms, runs summer taster sessions at its apiary and has a stand at the Usk Show.
