Seeking 'feral' bees collector

Lin from New Lynn

I have lovely bees making a hive inside a large upturned pot. As my garden isn't large, its not suitable for them. There must be a hive seeker in West Auckland - can't find one on internet.

Yesterday I spent some hours reviewing the Council Archives in regards to the gifting of land from Roy Thompson to Auckland Council. As you can see highlighted in the agreement documents (bullet point 3.) "The council shall hold the land for pensioner housing as a memorial to the late wife and parents of the donor". As you can also see highlighted in the blue transaction document is "Price: Gift, Purpose for which being acquired: Pensioner Housing".

Additionally the Auckland Star on the 12th of May 1973 published the article attached.

Here is a snippet from it and Mr Thompson's or 'Darby's' words himself - "Sixty-five-year-old Mr. Roy Thompson, or "Darby" as he is known to his friends, owns four acres of residential land at Avondale, has eight cats, a horse and lives in a house which is not connected to the power and has most of the windows broken. But last week he put on a white shirt and went into the city to have afternoon tea and cakes with city councillors. The reason? He had just donated 1¼ acres of his land to the council for pensioner housing. "It was in memory of my late wife and family." said Mr Thompson….

Mr Thompson wanted to do something for the elderly people, who he says have not been as fortunate as himself. ”I am determined to do something good before I go. So last week after months of negotiating, the council and Mr Thompson finally signed the documents necessary."

Kāinga Ora must honour 'Darby'. They have made it abundantly clear there is no plans for pensioner housing in their proposal. We need them to stop and re-plan this development. I am still awaiting information from them as to the next steps for engagement.

Here is a link to a petition with more information - chng.it...

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Type NFP alongside your comments if you don't wish these to be shared in the We Say You Say column of the local paper.
