Looking for a bit of land to keep some bees :)

Rebekah from Strathmore Park

Kia ora neighbours!

I am looking for space to keep 2 x beehives. Ideally, this would be level north / east facing land, plenty of sun, sheltered from wind, and not too close to kids, neighbours, washing lines etc.

Bees are excellent for pollinating vege gardens and fruit trees. Perfect for … View more

Bees are excellent for pollinating vege gardens and fruit trees. Perfect for the home orchard or farmer. Open to options further out of Wellington as well.

Meet Carlos, a male mixed breed who is 14 months old.

"Hi there, my name is Carlos or Mister Wiggle as they like to call me here at the SPCA. I am a bouncy dude that would love a home that loves larger-than-life personalities. I would love to go to a home where my owner is prepared to continue my basic training as I had none prior to SPCA. I am needing a routine where I am not left for more than 4 hours at a time, this is just to begin with, until I am more settled into my new home. I am wary to begin with, with strangers but with a suitable home I will be coming out of my shell in no time, like I have at the SPCA Teenagers or adults would be a good fit for me. I could go to a home with another dog, one that is social, loves a good play and happy to show me the ropes. I can be a bit enthusiastic when meeting other dogs so the dog would need to be patient with me. I may be able to live with a confident cat."

**RESCHEDULED Neighbours Day Event**
We invite you, your family, friends and neighbours to join us at Hataitai Village Green to celebrate Neighbours' Day 2022 and the International Festival of Food.
We will also be officially launching our new fence mural - The Dancing Fence.

Recently a fence mural project has been undertaken, led by local artist Peter Coates, where many nationalities have been painted in their traditional dress, dancing together to show what a multi-cultural society we live in here in New Zealand.

This will be an outdoor BYO food and drinks event so bring a picnic blanket -let's hope it's a fine, sunny day! We suggest you bring a favourite dish of your chosen country with you.

In the current conditions we may not be able to share food but a wonderful suggestion is that we share recipes of national dishes.

To do this, we'd appreciate it if you could email me (by 15 May) to franceslefort@gmail.com a recipe for your favourite national dish, we'll compile a booklet to share with whoever in the community wants it.
