The Edwards family have been keeping bees since the 1930s when a swarm of bees landed on a plum tree outside their farmhouse. Carys started bee keeping when she was 12 following her uncle foot steps to producing honey creating the Gwenynfa Pen y Bryn Apiary. Early on Carys started entering her honey in honey shows, beginning to win with her honey and honey products. Honey Jams, Honey Marmalades.
