[QUOTE="solrak44, post: 11542, member: 626"] Kia ora koutou, I'm currently doing the L3 Certificate in Apiculture via NMIT. Loving it so far and looking forward to getting some bees on our little 1.2 hectare block. We live close to Motueka. One concern I have – given that we're surrounded by apple orchards – is insecticides. We have hedges and shelter belts between us and the orchards but they do a fair bit of spraying. I'm really hoping that by putting the hives in the middle of our property, away from the fences, the spray won't reach the bees in any meaningful concentrations. Anyone have experience with bees near orchards in this part of the country?? Ngā mihi nui [/QUOTE]
