Heritage Rescue has taken a closer look at Kaeo. Check out Kaeo museum - full of significant objects dating back to the earliest contact between Māori and Pākehā, notably the sinking of the Boyd and the massacre of most of its crew and passengers in 1809. You'll discover that all of this important history is hidden in confusing and cluttered exhibits. While the Heritage Rescue team create new displays, Brigid investigates the Boyd incident, what used to be the country’s largest ship building yard, and the world's first Wesleyan mission. Check it out.

2. Pollination: Flowers, fruit trees, and crops in your neighborhood won’t grow without pollination, so help them thrive by providing natural pollinators.
3. Learning Experience: Many things can be learned from bees, and observing the bees comb building, honey making, or egg laying can be fascinating.
4. Inexpensive Hobby: Once you’ve spent the initial investment on beekeeping materials and protective clothing, all that’s needed is your time.
5. Help Stop Colony Collapse Disorder: Due to the effects of colony collapse disorder (CCD), bees are disappearing. So raising bees and nurturing them helps to increase their numbers.
6. Stress Relief: Watching your bees’ activities or working with them can help you keep focused and your mind off other things.
7. Beeswax: Beeswax is a by-product of hives and makes great candles, lip balm, wood polish, and more.
8. Health: Honey has antiseptic and antibacterial properties and the acidity in honey keeps bacteria from growing.
