'FOR THE LOVE OF BEES'
Do you own a Bee Hive? I do, and the Varroa Mite is rampant - I have been fumigating and treating for some months now but the Varroa Mite are still coming back! If you own a Hive - please make sure you're doing the right thing! Join the Auckland Bee Club - an amazing group of people who meet once a month, all sharing/learning about the care of Bees and Healthy Hives - they are all such helpful people . . . and REGISTER your Hive with AsureQuality Ltd. Unless we are all doing 'right by Bees', then we are all in trouble. And if you don't own a Hive, we'd still love you to plant Bee friendly plants in your garden to help feed them. They are the most amazing creatures and we can't live without them - many thanks, Helen Loveday
