Recent newspaper articles about mowing your lawn caught my attention. I have always been a tidy lawn person but since becoming infatuated with bees that has all changed. I stopped mowing so frequently and was surprised to see the range of flowers that emerged. Yes lawns still probably need to be kept tidy but if you can put up with it not looking so perfect, the reward is there for you (more you time) and the bees (more to eat).

We are proud to have teamed up with Sarah and the team at www.fortheloveofbees.co.nz. They are doing great things at their bee school and encourgng the plating of appropriate forage plants. As always, if you want to host a hive in your back yard on Aucklands North Shore get in contact with us today.
