Paula Carnell is an International Bee & Honey Consultant, Podcaster, Speaker & Author who discovered the wisdom of the bees and the profound health benefits of bee products whilst bed & wheelchair-bound with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Now fully recovered using the wisdom she discovered, bee products, herbal medicine, and plant-based minerals her mission is to share the wisdom of the bees to heal the land, businesses, and individuals.

In this episode, we explore the relationship between bees and human health, how what’s killing the bees is also killing us humans, and the misconceptions that most people have about bees. We discuss what we can learn from the bees, and the importance of sustainable beekeeping practices, and Paula shares why she is hopeful for the future despite the trajectory of human health and common industrial agriculture practices that we use today!
