At the same time I and my wife are keen amateur bee keepers. We have 20 hives on Waiheke Island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. This hobby provides us with a sense of wonder about these amazing and vulnerable creatures. The bee hives are a creative industry on a small scale as we take rain, sunshine and bees to create a honey which we sell under our own and other peoples' labels. I am also keen on boating and supporting the NZ Institute of Human Resources as an active member.view less
