Ian Driver is a Sunshine Coast based Australian Native Bee Keeper and owner/operator of A Green Soul Native Bees.
Ian started his bee journey a number of years ago whilst turning his family life green, keen to make less of an impact on the planet and eat more home grown fresh food. But to grow food you need bees to pollinate! And so a native bee hive was bought for the garden and the obsession started!
Through A Green Soul Native Bees Ian provides native bee products and services to customers though out South East Queensland. He also manages a number of hives in kindergartens and schools where he runs education sessions for the students.
Ian is on the Executive of the Australian Native Bee Association which advocates for the conservation of Australian native bees and for the sustainable development and growth of the native bee industry. He currently manages the association’s membership activities and branches.
