'FOR THE LOVE OF BEES'
Do you own a Bee Hive? I do, and the Varroa Mite is rampant - I have been fumigating and treating for some months now but the Varroa Mite are still coming back! If you own a Hive - please make sure you're doing the right thing! Join the Auckland Bee Club - an amazing group of people who meet once a month, all sharing/learning about the care of Bees and Healthy Hives - they are all such helpful people . . . and REGISTER your Hive with AsureQuality Ltd. Unless we are all doing 'right by Bees', then we are all in trouble. And if you don't own a Hive, we'd still love you to plant Bee friendly plants in your garden to help feed them. They are the most amazing creatures and we can't live without them - many thanks, Helen Loveday
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

CHILDCARE
Are you looking for casual childcare in the evenings or on the weekends?? Do you just need to take the occasional time out or maybe want some kid free shopping time.
I live locally and have 3 Adult children as well as a Nana to a grandchild overseas. I am a Registered Nurse with a Current First Aid Certificate.
Please feel free to make contact.
