Dafydd Pett is a Welsh beekeeper and entrepreneur.^[1], best known as the owner of The Welsh Honey Company, a family-run honey producer based in South Wales. He is also involved in beekeeping education and wildlife conservation and serves as a trustee of the Bridgend & District Beekeepers Association ^[2].

Dafydd Pett grew up in Bridgend, South Wales. He was introduced to beekeeping at the age of 11 by his grandfather, Mike Pett, who had kept bees as a hobby since the late 1960s. Pett began assisting at his grandfather’s apiary during his childhood and was later given responsibility for his own beehive ^[3].

Following the death of his grandfather in 2017, Pett inherited approximately 30 beehives ^[4]. At the age of 15, with support from his family, he established The Welsh Honey Company, developing the existing beekeeping operation into a commercial business ^[5].

The company produces raw Welsh honey using cold extraction and minimal processing methods intended to preserve natural characteristics such as pollen content ^[6]. Its products are sold directly to consumers online and through independent retailers and farm shops across Wales and the United Kingdom.

Pett is active within the Welsh beekeeping community ^[7] and serves as a trustee of the Bridgend & District Beekeepers Association ^[8], where he also manages digital communications, including website and social media platforms.

He has taken part in educational outreach relating to pollinator conservation and sustainable beekeeping and has represented young beekeepers at national and international events. His work includes engagement with schools and community organisations to raise awareness of the ecological importance of bees ^[9].

Pett travelled to Slovakia to represent Wales at the International Meeting Of Young Beekeepers at 16 and now works to get more young people into the agricultural industry ^[10].

Products from The Welsh Honey Company have received industry recognition, including awards for food quality such as the Welsh Food Awards Produce Of The Year ^[11]. Pett has also been recognised for his contribution to rural and environmental causes and was named the winner for the BBC Countryfile Young Countryside Champion Award in 2025 ^{[12] [13]}

In addition to beekeeping, Pett has experience in digital and technical systems and contributes technical support to voluntary and community organisations connected with beekeeping and agriculture.
