RE: Beekeeping in NZ
Hi,
Are there any beekeepers out there?
At present I keep three hives at the end of my garden and I would like to continue with my hobby when I get to NZ.
Obviousley, I know that I cannot take the bees with me but what I would like to know is
*what hives do you generally use out there? (as I have nationals at the moment)
* Are there any regulations to keeping bees in your garden? ie Insurance etc
* Are there any bee keeping associations? (like local ones to the area)
* Are there any suppliers in NZ for bee keeping equiptment/ bees or would it be cheaper to buy/bring my own hives with me?
Sorry about the many questions but I am preparing to sell the house and I may need to sell my stuff if it not compatable with the NZ bee keeing equiptment etc.
Cheers
Niki
