I'd love to do exactly that. We get few bees here so little pollination, so that also the yummy honey . Been reading about top bar hives, seem easy to make, now just need to figure out what the reciprocity is.
Bananas? No, too frosty in the Waikato. Lots of other things to try tho.
You on Waiheke? Nice.

Hey Nandor - Nice to connect with you again. you came to one of my Yoga classes.....in Old Farm rd. Remember? Have you ever heard of Yoga Ecology? Using fire and mantra to purify the inner and outer environments.......the microcosm and the macrocosm. It's my form of positive activism nowadays (although those angels of light such as Greenpeace and Sea shephards indeed still hold my greatest respect)....Agni Hotra it has an amazing effect. I live in Hamilton East - high student and also gang area....and the energy on our property is amazing. Very calm, peaceful. Soothing and safe. If you look up Agni Hotra - it's a similar thing. A friend of mine owns a coffee plantation in Colombia, and he made it organic purely through this practise of Agni Hotra. All you need is a vessel, and a little dried cow manure. And some mantras. It has an effect 1.5kms high and .5 kms around.
Anyway - at the yoga house we try to live sustainably and I think the way of the future is to be (not necessarily vegetarian)...living off what we find within 50kms radius.....so farmers market and vege garden it is for us! And slowly training ourselves out of the attitude of having whatever we want when we want. Hmmmm no more dahl and rice a?
Next weekend Nandor - 19-21 Feb, be great if you can make it. Hope all is good in your world
cheers

I rode my bike onto the ferry with 90 secs to spare. I too was energised by our meeting, thanks heaps for connecting. I tried to txt you back but the number you called me from didnt display in my phone. So I'm glad you made it here to Ooooby.
On the Buying, Selling, Bartering, you'll get a note before too long, to let you know the trading tool is up and running and available to use - exciting stuff!
