backyard beehive
Good Morning.
We have a Backyard Beehive. 2 weeks ago the started swarming. Half the bees decided to leave the hive. We called Andrew and he came to provide another box for the bees. Our son was dressed up for the occasion and lent him a hand. What an amazing experience for him. He even got yo see a new virgin queen being born. A very scarce thing to see according to Andrew. Andrew is great. He explained everything so well and was very patient with our son. We are so excited to have this beehive on our lawn. We can highly recommend Backyard Bees. We will receive 10kg of honey from our own neighbourhood. How cool is that?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
