This talk will be about the use of beehives to deter elephants from emerging from the forest in order to raid the adjacent farmer crops. Brian Durk has been a beekeeper for over 40 years, and he originally went to Africa to help set up a Beekeeping training centre in Cameroon, and has been involved in that sort of work ever since.

Speaker: Brian Durk is a member of the Cheltenham & Gloucester branch of the Gloucestershire Beekeepers. He has been a beekeeper since about 1977, taught Beekeeping part time at Hartpury College for 11 years, and has been involved running Beekeeping Projects in West Africa since 1997.
