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 and growing pawpaws, and at retirement ended up going bust.
This one-man show has emerged from conversations between Tim Stitz and his grandfather. It traces Lloyd’s romance with bees through family history, inheritance and the ripening of age.
