Doug Purdie, Monday 16 February

Doug Purdie will be at the next ACT Beekeepers Association meeting on Monday 16 February.

Doug is President of the Amateur Beekeepers Association of NSW and also President of the Sydney Bee Club. Along with his partner at The Urban Beekeeper, he maintains more than 70 beehives on city rooftops, balconies, backyards and in community gardens around Sydney. Last year he published a book titled Backyard Bees and has been interviewed on ABC radio and television. He will discuss some of his successes in urban beekeeping and perhaps one or two disasters.
