People Of Note - Geoffry D Tribe

Imagine being a bee lover ad research and yet you are violently allergic to bee stings. This is the situation with Rodney Trudgeon’s guest on People of Note this week, GEOFF TRIBE. Despite the ever present danger of an anaphylactic attack, honey bees have been a perpetual source of fascination for Geoff during his 40 year career in entomology. He has just published a fascinating book called Honey Mountain. This is the story of the Heuninberg since ancient times – its history of occupation, exploitation, development and the miraculous Cape honey bees who survived it all.
