SUMMARY:Friends Photographic Group Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next regular meeting takes place on Friday 27 March at 10am in the Theatrette. \nThe 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. \nCormac 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. \nHe 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.
