Beekeeping is a fulfilling and rewarding experience that can be done by everyone. Join Danny van der Walle for a demonstration on some of the techniques that can be used for small-scale backyard beekeeping and learn the best way to start your hive and produce your own honey. 

Danny is Senior Parks Co-ordinator for Brisbane City Council and is a keen apiarist. He started keeping bees 40 years ago at the age of 14, and currently has enough hives incorporated into his permaculture system to support himself and his family. Danny brings a wealth of professional and personal experience to this workshop and will share his expertise including understanding bees at a suburban backyard level.
