Karl has been keeping bees since 2003, combining his passion for beekeeping with his knack for hands-on craftsmanship, building his own hives from recycled wood. As a practical and skilled bee breeder, Karl draws on his background in engineering, quality, and production to approach beekeeping with precision and care.
In his spare time, Karl set up a not-for-profit social enterprise, Bees in our Community, providing businesses and individuals with a gentle introduction to beekeeping. This initiative not only helps grow the number of colonies but also encourages more people to become beekeepers.
Karl has a growing number of hives and offers his support to new beekeepers via a mentoring scheme
