AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Based on a true story, Lloyd Beckmann, Beekeeper is the tale of a Queensland battler as told through his grandson's eyes. In a one man show Tim Stitz conveys Lloyd as the stoic Queensland battler, a man with a passion for bees, who tried his hand at mining, honey production, growing paw paws, and at retirement ended up going bust.

'This one-man show has emerged from conversations between Tim Stitz and his grandfather and traces Lloyd's romance with bees through family history, inheritance and the ripening of age.' (From the publisher's website.)
