'Bee Aware' month is officially over but hopefully it has given everyone inspiration to carry on looking after our NZ bees ongoing and planting in our gardens to feed the bees.

Over Bee Aware month we had a couple of competitions and we would now like to announce the winners!

Drum Roll Please!!
 

The winners are:

• Milind Bangera won the Facebook competition of goodies worth $100 with these comments: 'Love to win this for my wife, as she is an awesome person. Every year after winter she prepares the garden and plants lots of different color flowers (yellow, blue, purple and pink) she also keeps water in the bird bath for the bees (I never knew bees get thirsty) and she always uses chemical free sprays in our garden. these are the little thing that can help the bee population:)'.  We loved that his wife plants a great variety of flowers for the bees, has a drinking station for them and doesn't use chemical sprays and we loved that he thinks his wife is awesome!!!
• These were the winners of the colouring competition:

Under 6 years - Isabelle Blackmore


7  years & over - Emily Steel


Congratulations everyone, your prizes are on there way!
