Episode 23 - Learning from the Wisdom of the Bees with Paula Carnell on World Bee Day
In this special World Bee day episode of Frankly Speaking with Lynne Franks, Lynne is joined by her friend “Bee Queen” Paula Carnell. They discuss her personal journey into beekeeping and the wisdom of bees we can all use to enrich our lives and the world around us.
Paula Carnell first started her own business in 1990 as an artist, greeting card publisher and eventually her own gallery. 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 beehive 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’.
After the interview Lynne shares this week's Seed exercise, encouraging listeners to research bees and their prominence in ancient goddess culture.
