He Is The Bee's Knees
A bee keeper from Victoria, Chris Kowalski rescues hives from residential areas of Melbourne, and relocates them, often handling them without a beekeeping suit!
“Bees play a vital role in our food systems, pollinating one-third of everything we eat. I have so much passion for what I do with bee keeping!”
