Did you know that in New Zealand there are 28 species of native bees and 13 species of introduced bees? They play an important role in pollinating our flora, providing us beautiful plants to look at and delicious kai to eat.
Every September, Wellington City Council and Apiculture NZ (ApiNZ) invite the whole community to get involved and help raise awareness about the importance of bees for our economy, environment and food production systems.

Hold on to your buzzing hats! More information about Bee Aware Month 2022 will be posted at a later date.
