Hello,
My name is Louis Rummer-Downing, I am a wildlife photographer and have been photographing and writing about honeybees for the past 12 months. I have just been funded to work with a Cornish beekeeper who is breeding Varroa mite resistance into his bees. The work he does is very interesting and my project lasts for 5 weeks, so I aim to film this behaviour, but also record other aspects to his job (he is a full time beekeeper), including the Heather honey flow, from start to finish, and also a diary of events for that 5 weeks. My work can be viewed on my blog www.louisrd.blogspot.com and this will be updated constantly with photography and notes about honeybees and my project. I hope you enjoy the work, please get in contact about anything, I would like to get involved with any project or ideas. I am available for any work.Yours Sincerely
Louis Rummer-Downing Based in Gloucestershire, Southwest England
