About Bee Aware Month
This annual education campaign, run by Apiculture New Zealand, is all about sharing with New Zealanders some basic things everyone can do to help improve bee health. We want to encourage Kiwis to plant more trees for bees, to use garden sprays safely, or not at all, and to buy local honey.
Every year we share resources with schools, community groups, councils and bee lovers so they can learn more about bees and take actions to improve bee health. We also run a social media campaign aimed at educating Kiwis about bees, beekeeping and honey.
Explore a range of educational resources from preschool to intermediate age.
Buy bee-friendly flower seeds from Wild Forage and you’ll be supporting Bee Aware Month, feeding Kiwi bees and prettying up your garden all at the same time!
All proceeds go towards bee education in New Zealand.
