Apiarist Jack Stone from Bee One Third said he is excited to be sharing his knowledge of bees with Brisbanites this autumn.

โ€œBees play such an important role in our ecosystem and the more people who learn and understand this the better. Iโ€™m thrilled to share my knowledge and experience with Brisbane locals in such a beautiful inner city setting,โ€ Jack said.

โ€œWe at Bee One Third are dedicated to sustainable beekeeping and educating the community about the essential work bees do.โ€

The expert guides from Bee One Third will show guests how these tiny pollinators support biodiversity, food production, and our environment.
