Two of the world's most respected natural beekeeping advocates, Les Crowder and Nathalie B, are heading to Australia in August and are giving presentations with Adrian Iodice in Sydney and the Central Coast.

Les Crowder is a beekeeper with over 45 years’ experience, starting as a conventional beekeeper with 4000 hives. He has developed his own top bar hive, authored a book “Top Bar Beekeeping” and using a bee-centric approach discovered how to treat disease and genetic weaknesses through holistic and chemical-free intervention, plant-based medicine and selective breeding for health and disease resistance.

Nathalie B. is the creator and owner of Bee Mindful, a full-service beekeeping company that offers comprehensive beekeeping apprenticeships and workshops in sustainable and natural beekeeping. She is a Texas Master Beekeeper and manages over 400 hives of her own.
