Local Honey Swansea
Aur Y Ddraig Ltd
Ty Dorkin, Pontarddulais, SA4 8NPUnblended, unpasteurised Welsh honey from Aur Y Ddraig, a family-run honey farm near Pontarddulais with apiaries on both sides of the Llwchwr Valley, where Carmarthenshire meets Swansea. The name means Dragon's Gold.
Darren and his wife Sara set up the business, which launched at the Royal Welsh Smallholding and Countryside Festival. Darren was introduced to bees by his grandfather and returned to beekeeping some twenty-five years later, taught by his uncle. Their small apiaries, including Helyg, Celyn and Eirlys, are spread along the valley. The honey gets only minimal filtering or heating, and they say the health of their colonies always comes before the size of the crop. They belong to the East Carmarthenshire, Welsh and British beekeepers' associations.
The honey is sold through a few local shops, including Pontarddulais Garden Centre, or you can phone to order direct. The Pontarddulais address is their registered office, and there are no sales from there.
