Welcome to BusyBees
About Us
We call ourselves Busybees because we keep bees and we are always busy on our ½ hectare smallholding experimenting with all aspects of sustainable living and self-sufficiency.
We run a number of courses throughout the year in Bangor, North Wales including beekeeping courses, vegetable gowing courses and fruit growing courses.
Lisa Mundle has a background in Environmental Science and 20 years experience in growing food organically in a variety of settings and systems. Lisa has taught adults and children how to grow their own food and she has a particular interest in passing this on, especially produce that grows readily in our North Wales climate.
Jonathan Garratt works part-time for the National Bee Unit as a Seasonal Bee Inspector. He has been involved in beekeeping since childhood and oversees the welfare of our own bee colonies. He runs a number of introductory beekeeping days in North Wales as well as helping with the local Beekeeping Associations
Jonathan and Lisa have set up a number of food growing projects in local primary schools and welcome people to stay and learn with them (WWOOF)
