Local Honey Llanddaniel

Raw Anglesey wildflower honey from Anglesey Bees, run by Dafydd and Dawn Jones from their smallholding at Llanddaniel. Every jar is their own honey from the current season: spring wildflower honey is harvested in June and summer wildflower honey in August, and they don't buy in honey or carry stock over from previous years.

The bees are kept at out-apiaries across the south of the island. At the home apiary they forage on a bee-friendly broadleaved woodland planted in 2019 with the Woodland Trust, a spring-fed lake and clover pasture grazed by the couple's flock of pedigree Shropshire sheep. Honey is extracted and packed in small batches in a purpose-built room with a food hygiene rating of 5, and is sold runny – it sets naturally after a few months. Their Summer Wildflower Honey won a one-star Great Taste Award in 2024 and the Spring Wildflower Honey two stars in 2025.

Honey and beeswax products can be ordered online for delivery, or you can phone ahead and arrange a time to call at the smallholding and buy in person. The honey is also stocked by shops and cafés on the island and in Caernarfon, among them Anglesey Fine Foods in Valley, Mercado in Beaumaris, & Caws in Menai Bridge and OG Owen & Son in Caernarfon.

Both former teachers with over 30 years of beekeeping behind them, Dafydd and Dawn run beekeeping experiences for groups of four to six between April and August – from a 90-minute 'Meet the Bees' visit or blind honey tasting to half and full days with the bees – along with beginners' courses and talks for community groups.
