The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.
The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.
“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”

I’m Claire from Torbay. I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that might be helpful to someone in our community.
Over the years I’ve heard so many people say how overwhelmed they felt when they had to arrange a funeral - everything happens so quickly, and it’s hard to think clearly when you’re grieving.
Because of that, I’ve started Whakaaio, where I sit with families, talk things through calmly, and help them understand their options. I also guide people in finding a funeral home that suits their needs and budget, so they can make decisions without pressure or confusion. It’s simply steady support during a really difficult moment.
If this might help you or someone you know one day, here are my details:

Warmly,
Claire
