Richard
Richard started Bee Free Project with Rhodri after he found that beekeeping had coping mechanisms that helped his own PTSD. After serving in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq Richard developed the symptoms of PTSD but only after being diagnosed with many smaller problems but were after all as a result of PTSD.
He always had a fascination with bees and he found that beekeeping has helped to develop the mind, helping him with memory retention, carrying out tasks in a logical way as well as providing coping methods with obtrusive memories.
He aims now to teach as many people as possible the perceived medical benefits in carrying out beekeeping, as well as helping the environment along the way.
