Ahead of this month's election, this is a chance to tell our country's aspiring leaders how optimistic or pessimistic you and your neighbours are feeling about the future. And it's just 10 short multi-choice questions!
Take the survey today and we'll put you in the draw to win one of two $100 Prezzy® cards.
The findings will be reported next weekend in the Sunday Star-Times and on Neighbourly.co.nz.
Most of us will never get THIS upclose with those buzzy pollinators, so we thought you might enjoy this gallery.

Would this tempt you on a hot summer day? It's charcoal and coconut and apparently delicious - but you'll have to travel to Brisbane.
Three options for Napier's proposed new Aquatic Centre have been released.

Napier City Council is proposing spending between $19.5 million and $37million on the options.
It will also consult the public on two alternative options – a more expensive Olympic-size 50m pool or a cheaper extension of the existing facilities.
On Monday the council released artist's impressions of how the new centre could look, and how it could be used.
Option one, the Ivan Wilson Expansion, was the most cost-effective of the options. It would see the current Napier Aquatic Centre close temporarily while wide-scale renovations took place. The result would be a $19.5m extension of existing facilities – a new 25m x 25m pool, a 12.5m x 8m learners' pool, a new gym and health and wellness centre, and a lifespan of around 15 years.
Option two, the 25-Metre New-Build, could be constructed alongside the current facility – meaning the pools could remain open throughout. It offers three new pools - a new 25m x 25m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 25m x 12m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness. There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost was $37m and the anticipated lifespan was around 30 years.
Option three, the 50-Metre new-build, could also be constructed alongside the current facility, so that the pools could remain open throughout. A feature of the 50m build is its moveable bulkhead that can divide the pool in two. It also offers three new pools - a new 50m x 21m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 15m x 8m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness. There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost is $38m and the lifespan was around 30 years.
Feedback can be made at www.napier.govt.nz..., and there will be a Spring Open Day at the Onekawa Aquatic Centre on Sunday, September 3.
