Local Honey in Powys

Find honey in Powys on the map

Powys covers most of mid Wales, from the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) in the south to Montgomeryshire in the north, and its beekeepers work hill country, valleys and hedgerows. Dyffryn Honey's bees forage in the Grwyne Fawr valley and on the heather slopes of the Sugar Loaf, giving a floral honey and a separate heather honey; near Crickhowell, Llangattock Apiaries notes that no commercial crops are grown close to its hives by the River Usk. Around Montgomery, Trefaldwyn Honey comes from the town's hedgerows, gardens and fields.

The Royal Welsh Show at Llanelwedd, near Builth Wells, has its own honey section, and Builth's Bee Welsh Honey has taken best in show there. Newtown is home to Hilltop Honey, a large company that tests and packs honey from Welsh, British and overseas beekeepers – well known, but most of its honey is not from Powys hives.

Smaller producers mostly sell online or at markets: Wood Bank Honey, near Hay-on-Wye, trades at farmers' markets in neighbouring Carmarthenshire and Herefordshire, and Brecon Beecombs near Llywel runs 'Meet the Bees' sessions as well as selling honey. Brecon & Radnor and Montgomeryshire beekeepers' associations are the local associations.
