Friends Photographic Group Monthly Meeting

The next regular meeting takes place on Friday 27 March at 10am in the Theatrette.

The guest presenter will be Cormac Farrell. Cormac is an environmental scientist and beekeeper, best known as the Head Beekeeper for the Australian Parliament. He also manages several apiaries throughout Canberra, including training apiaries, organic orchards, and tall rooftop apiaries.

Cormac will talk about his experiences as the head beekeeper of the Australian Parliament, and how photographs, video and other media have played a critical role in outreach and communication.

He will also touch on how the increasing popularity of native bee photography has helped move the public’s understanding of bees to move beyond honey and towards the role of pollinators in food security and the wider environment.
