TREES FOR BEES
Strong, healthy bees are a crucial part of New Zealand’s agricultural and horticultural industry.
The importance of agricultural sustainability and food security for New Zealand is widely acknowledged. Bees are the unspoken champions of agriculture and have a very important job. In gathering pollen for their own food, bees unknowingly help us out by pollinating the crops. That’s why we are proud to support the trees for bees planting programme. For more information check out trees for bees campaign.
