Meet Our Producers

Meet our producers! Nestled in the Brecon Beacons, on the edge of the river Usk, is Llangattock Apiaries selling pure honey, just as the bees make it!

About

The hives in Llangattock are tended by Llangattock Apiaries’ owner, Anthony Smith, who is a member of the British Beekeepers’ Association, and Bee Farmers’ Association! His fascination with bees is long-standing. Anthony first learned about bees when he was living in South Africa, but the bees there are aggressive and difficult to keep, so he started his first hive six years ago in the Middle East, before moving to Llangattock in 2002 and establishing Llangattock Apiaries near to the River Usk.
All Anthony’s bees are of the Buckfast breed, which is renowned for its high honey yield!

Natural Honey

All of Anthony’s honey is 100% and just as the bees make it- they are doing exactly what they would be doing in the wild! The only difference that Llangattock Apriaries does, is that they give the bees a home and this stops them from swarming, and harvesting the goodness they produce.

They can’t follow every bee, so their honey is technically not ‘organic’ however, the environment is perfect and there are no commerical crops near by- the perks of living in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains, eh!

“Happy bee hives produce better honey”

Their Hives and Making Process

Anthony has other hives in Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, taking the total to more than 300! He has to check them on a regular basis to ensure the conditions inside are right and to see whether the wooden frames which bear the honeycomb are full.  When they are, they are spun to extract the honey, which is then strained through a fine gauze into sterile containers ready for sale.
