Alan Wade

Alan is a scientist with a PhD in organic chemistry that happened upon him when Noah was a boy. He is an active member of the Canberra Region Beekeepers club, writes monthly blogs for the club newsletter, publishes in beekeeping magazines and has been a keeper, rather than owner, of bees for more than 40 years.

He is an enthusiastic exponent of two-queen hive beekeeping but says that, while doing so is quite straightforward, its practise is not for the feint hearted. In fact it’s always a gamble and is akin to herding cats.

His book ‘A History of
Keeping and Managing Doubled and
Two-Queen Hives’ is published by Northern Beebooks.
