He has grown up with honeybees, going out to manage the hives with his father as a child in Menai Bridge, Ynys Môn, and eventually taking on the full care of the hives. He has been a Seasonal Bee Inspector for the National Bee Unit for 22 years from 2001-2022. He has run countless courses in beekeeping for many years, either privately or through other organisations such as the National Botanic Gardens Wales, The Snowdonia Society, Bangor University, the Centre for Alternative Technology and the Woodland Skills Centre. Jonathan & his wife have a small business selling honey and beehive products. He has great enthusiasm and enjoys dealing with honeybees and other insects and passing on his skills to others.
