The tutor

 

The course tutor is Charles Millar.  Having escaped the corporate world he is now a freelance apostle for the joys of beekeeping.  He has been keeping bees with great enthusiasm for 20 years, and has recently retired after 6 years as a government bee inspector. Since 2016 he has also been an on-call firefighter - but is off duty on course days!
