Live Day! | Buzzing about Bees & other Pollinators
Spring has sprung at the Howick Historical Village! Come along this Live Day to experience the gardens filled with colour and busy bees đ
As part of Bee Aware Month, learn about the vital role of bees and other pollinators and how to create eco-friendly green spaces for them to thrive. Find hidden emblems crafted in wood, in an Eco Discovery Trail created by our heritage gardener Luke Southern. Meet our bees in a talk with the beekeeper Corban at 1:30pm.
The councilâs Compost Collective will also be on site, presenting the rundown on traditional composting, worm farming and bokashi in a free 2-hour workshop at 10am.
Costumed villagers will be demonstrating tasks in interactive activities all day. See the blacksmith in the forge, churn cream into butter, attend a Victorian school lesson or make candles! The coal range in the Puhi Nui homestead will be fired up, with something tasty on the stovetop. The old-fashioned sweet shop will be open, selling lollies, fudge, and other treats.
With games, crafts, and plenty to entertain all ages! Bring a picnic, pick up something from the homely Homestead Café and make a day of it.
Admission prices: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, child under 5, members & annual pass holders - free entry.
Register for the compost workshop at compostcollective.org.nz.... Registered participants receive $40 off a composting system of their choice.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! đ±
