Gold from the Quarry

Our Quarry Field Apiary is a special place. It’s a secluded, bluebell strewn, coppice on family farmland near the market town of Carmarthen in West Wales. There, from Spring through to Autumn, a contented buzz fills the air and our bees thrive.  When we considered a name that embodied the obvious virtues of our delicious honey, Gwenyn Maes Chwarel, (which translates as The Quarry Field Bees), was an obvious choice (as were the bluebells that you’ll find, themed, in our logo). 

Small batch raw honey is one of the most exclusive, and delicious, of ‘slow food’ options and a real privilege of nature. To connoisseurs, pure Welsh wild flower honey is surely up there with cheeses, truffles and great wine and makes a great pairing with them all. To provide our “Gold from the Quarry”, we make no compromises. We apply modern standards to slower, time served, methods of honey extraction. And, by being a little more patient, we actively retain our honey’s authenticity, flavour and health benefits. You can purchase our honey from this website directly, just don’t wait too long. Our honey is styled as “small batch” for a very good reason; it’s ‘a gift from the Quarry Bees’ and they only make so much in a season. Welsh honey, like ours, is the real deal, our bees forage freely and every harvest has it’s own special qualities. When all the harvest has all been enjoyed, however, it’s up to the Quarry Bees to make more in their own good time.
