Bee Aware Month
September is Bee Aware Month.
Honey Bees are part of a group of pollinators without which we would have no fruit or vegetables.
Contrary to some media stories, the honey bee is not endangered in New Zealand but our native bees are.
These are solitary insects that usually live in burrows and produce no honey. They also are pollinators and suited our native plant species. Their habitat is threatened as they cannot be shifted around and managed like the honey bee.
