"I have known Russell and Janine for about 15 years. We have worked together on a number of projects including support of Indigenous community development in Cape York Peninsula and Arnhem Land. The work that Russell and Janine did working with Indigenous people to share their knowledge of native bees and how to manage them for production was very well received. Their patience and willingness to include traditional knowledge of native bees was a key to that success."

I have dealt with Russell and Janine on a number of occasions relating to products and information. On all these occasions, Russell has been most accommodating with questions, advice and availability.
