ABOUT THE HOST

Award winning TEDx Speaker and Winner of Environmental Consultant of the year 2023, Paula Carnell speaks globally on bees and the connection between bee health and human health. She has her own podcast “Creating a buzz about health” and a workshop in Galhampton Somerset. Paula first started her own business in 1990 as an artist, greeting card publisher and eventually her own gallery in Castle Cary. Exhibiting globally her paintings sold for 5 figures. Then after 20 years she fell ill and became bed and wheelchair bound with Ehlers Danlos syndrome. During her ‘cocoon’ phase, her husband built her a bee hive and bees moved in. Following her remarkable full recovery using herbal medicine and plant based minerals, Paula then re-emerged ‘creating a buzz about health’, sharing the wisdom gained from bees and understanding the connection between our own health and theirs. Trained in Bologna as a Honey Sommelier, Paula works with organisations worldwide who want to work with bees and honey in a sustainable, naturopathic way, often thinking ‘outside the box’.
