From Accounts to Apiaries
Steve worked for many years in finance and I.T before joining his wife Elaine Bousfield MBE to help grow her fledgling online counselling business in 2006. It is now Kooth plc. Steve found beekeeping to be both fascinating and great for his mental health, and in 2017 he started work on his book, Interviews With Beekeepers.
Two hives turned into ten, and then fifty, and on it goes … Steve formed Walrus Apiaries Ltd and joined the Bee Farmers’ Association. He is currently the editor of Bee Farmer magazine, and writes a blog called The Walrus and the Honey Bee. His son, Alex (The Mole), helps out with beekeeping during the season.
Elaine received her MBE for services to young peoples mental health, but surely her greatest claim to fame is being ‘the beekeeper’s wife’ (haha).
