Bee Swarms
If you find a swarm of bees and want a beekeeper to take care of it, to grow our bee population, please call Charles on 021 964000 any time.
Swarming bees will settle in a tree or on a structure while they are looking for a new home. They are very unlikely to sting. They will stay in a large clump for warmth and to protect the queen for a few hours so that is the time for the beekeeper to provide them with a hive for their new home.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
