The honey bee cannot survive without the help of humans, and we cannot survive without the honey bee. More than one third of what we eat and three quarters of the diversity relies on bee pollination, and so do billions of dollars in export earnings. Bees in New Zealand and all around the world are being critically threatened by Varroa, Pesticides, Disease and loss of habitat.
You can help support the honey bees by planting bee friendly trees, flowers and shrubs in your gardens.
