NEW ZEALAND BEEKEEPER, MARCH 2017
NIGHT RUN TO THE ‘NAKI PHOTO ESSAY
Jody Mitchell reports that UK beekeeper Phoebe Lamb returned to Tauranga-based Kaimai Range Honey from November 2016 through February 2017 to experience pollination, making up new hives and preparing hives for the honey flow. Jody says that she took these photos “as we were about to start loading out hives for a night run to our Taranaki Honey site (six hours away)”.
