BEEEEEE problem...can you advise? I have a plot in the Ranui Community Garden. The plot next to me houses a beehive. Over the last 6 weeks - wet weather or dry, I have been working on my plot when a bee will come up and start aggressively buzzing around my face, eventually driving me out of the garden. Originally we thought it was wasps, then one day my neighbour was there doing some gardening, and she lifted the lid and did something to the hive, next minute a bee started harrassing her, then one came over and did the same to me. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do - its very disheartening to make a trip there to do some gardening only to have to hightail it back home without getting the chance to do what I wanted. My friend was also chased out of the enclosure when he came to help. I love bees but I didn't expect them to be so aggressive. What could it be..keen to find a solution...please email me sharonlovelock@hotmail.com thanks :-)

Hi Everyone,

Looking for a group "sustainable titirangi". Anyone know anything about it? In it?

I just wanted to let everyone know there is an affordable property (2 bdrm) for sale in Glen Eden at 58A Routley Dr, with friendly, community-minded neighbours.  If you know anyone who is looking for their first home and wants to have a little bit of land to set up a garden, please let them know about it.  The place needs some work, but it's a nice bit of land that would be a lot of fun to set up some edible gardens and fruit trees.  The property is listed at http://www.trademe.co.nz/property/residential/for-sale/auction-4923... .   I have NO financial interest in this property whatsoever- I'm just a neighbour who would love to form a gardening and food-loving community on our street!

Thanks Jude and Diane for offering your comfrey plants, I have got a quantity today from Swanson, but will probably need more, so may be back in touch a little down the track.

Hi Fiona,

I also have comfrey plants and would love to share.

We live in New Lynn.

Hi Fiona,

I have mature comfrey plants. I live in Te Atatu if that is close enough.

Bring large buckets.  Would love some honey.

Does anyone have comfrey plants or seeds to swap for honey?
