Brecon Beecombs

Brecon Beecombs is a beekeeping business based at The Good Life Wales in Blaenclydach, Llywel, in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, Powys. The operation is run by Roger Swain, who has been managing bees both for himself and for clients through his gardening business for over four years. The apiary is set within bee-friendly woodlands, where a range of habitats have been created to support all bee species. Brecon Beecombs offers a comprehensive range of bee-related services and products, including honey sales, beeswax products, hive and hive parts sales, as well as beekeeping courses and guided 'Meet the Bees' experience sessions. The Meet the Bees experience takes visitors on a two-hour journey into the world of bees: participants are suited up in protective gear, learn to light a smoker, visit the live hives, and have the opportunity to spot the Queen bee, before exploring the woodland habitats on site. A one-day Introduction to Beekeeping Course is also available. The business is described as incorporating all bee services under one roof, making it a well-rounded local beekeeping enterprise in the Welsh countryside.
