Edgars Books & News in conjunction with Wangaratta Landcare and Sustainability, look forward to welcoming environmental scientist and beekeeper, best known as the Head Beekeeper for the Australian Parliament, Cormac Farrell, to Mullinmur Billabong.

Cormac manages several apiaries and orchards throughout Canberra, creating unique food experiences that educate and inspire, pushing the boundaries of what cities can produce. In addition to running his own apiaries, Cormac is the training manager for Canberra Region Beekeeper, where in an average year he trains over one hundred new beekeepers. He also provides beekeeping support to multiple international embassies, and has assisted several governments in developing pollinator planting guides for their urban forests, improving the function of street trees, parks and gardens.

Cormac will launch his book - Urban Beekeeping - as well as conduct a honey tasting and discuss plant selections and the value of local plants.

You can pre-order Cormac's book online HERE, via phone or in store at Edgars Books & News or purchase a copy on the day at the event where Cormac will sign it for you.

Please note that there are no toilet facilities at the billabong. You will also need to bring your own water/snacks.
