About Me

I was raised on a sheep and cattle property in central west N.S.W. and kept a few honeybees as a hobby. Dad told me about native bush bees when I was about 10. I wanted some ever since. I studied science and currently work in a biotechnology company. Neither my studies or my work have anything to do with insects or bees. Still, I do have an experimental frame of mind, so I tend to do a bit of informal experimentation with my stingless bees. It's a hobby and I consider it fun. I get a little honey which I share with friends. I'm selling a few beehives set up so people can see inside & really enjoy them.
