About

I am associated with the veterinary medicine School at University of Melbourne, Australia. My PhD thesis was on Varroa and the likely effect on Australian apiculture should there be an incursion. I published the book The Australian Beekeeping Manual and have submitted for publication a book on the pests and diseases of the honey bee. I frequently work in developing countries with USAID as a trainer on beekeeping and honey food safety.
