Beekeeping Trivia ๐Ÿ

Did you know that the use of smoke in beekeeping has ancient roots? Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans discovered that gently puffing smoke into hives had a calming effect on bees. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

This practice made hive inspections safer by disrupting bee communication and reducing the
likelihood of stings.

In 2016, an earthquake significantly impacted Kaikoura and its vicinity, leading to the destabilisation of certain areas prone to landslides. Each season, we take extensive efforts to reach the secluded Manuka blocks tucked away in the far reaches of high-country stations. In this specific circumstance, we rely on an annual assisting hand from a local farmer in North Canterbury to navigate beyond a substantial limestone obstacle.
