from Breeding the Honeybee Hosted by Brent Nixon

Amy is a queen breeder. Her business is called Kereru Queen bees, which she runs with her two sisters and their husbands. The business was originally started by Amy’s father John over 40 years ago. The business is based in Kereru, a small farming district 60 km's southwest from Napier/Hastings on the eastern foothills of the northern Ruahine ranges in Hawkes Bay. Contact Amy - [email protected] If you are interested in reading a nice book about Amy's Grandfather growing up with the bees you can email Amy's mother - [email protected] I have a copy of this book which my family read in one sitting and loved it.
