Tupare workshop sure to be a buzz
Tupare workshop sure to be a buzz
9 September 2013
Whether you want to keep bees or just encourage them to visit, get to a free public workshop at Tupare in New Plymouth on Sunday (15 September).
The two-hour workshop will cover getting started with beekeeping, legal requirements, the life cycle of the hive, feeding bees and the equipment for beekeeping.
It will also cover ways to make the home garden more bee-friendly. For example, did you know that plants with shallow flowers are good, because they provide landing pads for bees?
Sunday’s workshop starts at 2pm and runs for two hours. It is part of a year-round programme of free events at Tupare, Hollard Gardens and Pukeiti, the three heritage properties owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region. All three are open daily and entry is free.
For more information, see www.tupare.info, www.hollardgardens.info and www.pukeiti.org.nz. Social media users can also follow the Taranaki Regional Council gardens on Facebook (TaranakiRegionalGardens) and Twitter (@TaranakiRG).
