Bee swarm about to happen

Norman from Titahi Bay

I live in Patiki Place and have noticed today that there have been at least 2 dozen scout bees at my place (inside and out) looking for a new hive location which means that either tomorrow or the day after a swarm of bees will leave the cultivated hive in search of a new location. If you live in the Tuna Tce, Pikarere St, Titaki st, Mako Pl area and keep bees - bee aware (pun intended) that your hive is splitting. Bee swarms are nothing to be feared as they gorge themselves on honey before they leave the hive so unless you REALLY provoke them they will not sting. If they come my way I will box them for you but you have to give me a call on 0210700489 - Cheers Norman -
you probably don't want to lose them as they appear to be newish Italian stock from Nelson queens.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
