Look out for hornets

Ministry for Primary Industries

There have been recent detections of yellow-legged hornets (Vespa velutina) in Auckland.

If you think you have found a hornet or its nest in your area, take a clear photo and report:
• online at  report.mpi.govt.nz
• by calling our exotic pest and disease hotline on  0800 80 99 66

The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

Wills and Luxon are screwing the country to please the oil and gas industry.

Markus from Green Bay

Today the smart investment is in battery peaker plants in combination with solar and wind, or with any other renewable generation capacity during low demand times.
Gas is expensive and will get more so over time.

Let's not forget that Nicola Willis' dad is a big time oil and gas investor, lobbyist, and industry insider.

Maybe this should be posted in ‚Crime & Safety‘?
