Bees are tiny but mighty players in New Zealand’s environment and economy.
They pollinate our gardens, native plants, and crucial crops, supporting biodiversity and food production across the country.
But, an invasive threat is looming – the queen yellow-legged hornet.
Since June, Biosecurity New Zealand has confirmed several detections of these pests across Auckland.
Today on The Front Page, Mahurangi Honey’s Peter Johnston is with us to chat local honey making, and why bees are so important.
