Spending so much time caring for his hives in the area where the Karioi Project are undertaking large-scale predator control, Bevan is keenly aware of the importance of preserving the native fl ora and
Restoring the biodiversity from the coast to the maunga, Bevan says
&the Karioi Project play a big role in keeping his bees happy and fed, and to support this work he’s donating money from his honey sales.
“Keeping bees gives me a unique insight into the vulnerability of their surroundings and highlights how important it is to look after our environment. It is this that led us to create a relationship with Karioi project, who do such important mahi around Whāingaroa,” he says.
A beekeeper for nearly 15 years, Bevan stumbled upon the hobbybusiness when he was 18 and just about to leave high school.
“I saw a hive for sale on TradeMe and bought it. I’ve got to be honest I went about it the wrong
That hive ended up at his father’s small farm in Matangi and with very little knowledge of caring for bees, Bevan started beekeeping.
The setback didn’t deter him and after some self-guided research and advice from people in the honey business, he bought another couple of hives and started again.
Bevan now has around 50-60 hives set up around Ruapuke and Karioi producing several varieties
It’s a boutique business, something that he’s passionate about and he’s happy keeping it small-scale. Bevan earns his crust as a plant operator for Open Country. The shift work fi ts in nicely with his beekeeping giving him time during daylight hours to tend to the bees. His wife Emma helps with the marketing side of things and an old school mate Sven de Keersmaeker designed the labels. A pinup girl in her spare time, Emma is known as Miss Honey Bee and when she’s not at her day job or helping Bevan with the hives, she dresses up in vintage clothes and gives educational talks to schools and other organisations about the importance of bees to the environment. A number 8 wire sort of bloke, Bevan commitment to the environment sees him tinkering in the bee shed devising ways to practice sustainability in his beekeeping. Lately, he’s been working on a wind turbine to power the bee shed. All the parts have been sourced from the dump in Hamilton. “We get a lot of wind up here so why not try and harness it and be resourceful,” he says. That resourceful approach has also seen him collaborate with another local boutique foodie business, Raglan Chocolate and they are about to launch handcrafted honey chocolates. To help Karioi Project and get a taste of Raglan Apiaries honey head to Rivet on Wallis St or Zinnia on Wainui Rd. Refi llable honey will be sold at Rivet soon. Janine Jackson

What is now a restricti ve and maybe painful movement was, at the ti me it was learned, the best response possible to the circumstances. It may not serve us well now. It may be crippling us. How do we change? Slow movement done with awareness allows the brain to wake up again –to what is actually going on. It can then automati cally reorganise our movement to become smooth and easy. It will tell the ti ght muscles to relax and it will integrate movement throughout the whole body. The circumstances are now diff erent. We just need to alert the brain to this.

Somati cs is a relati vely new brand, and has become extremely popular around the world. It grew out of Feldenkrais, and developed alongside new research into neuromuscular reprogramming. Many yoga studios in Australia now off er classes in Somati cs as a complement to yoga. Somati cs is based on the principle of neuroplasti city – the understanding that the brain is conti nually remodelling itself in response to new informati on and experience. Movement limitati ons creati ng tension and pain are not permanent, however old we are. The term Somati cs comes from ‘soma’ which means to understand the body as an intelligent, sensiti ve, living organism.

A MESSAGE FROM WAIKATO DHB BE PREPARED
Kia ora e te whānau, We are all looking forward to a great summer with our whānau, after a year when we have had to work hard together as a community to meet challenges. As Kiwis get out and about over the holidays we expect to see increased numbers at our local summer destinations. It’s important that while we’re enjoying the break, we also take steps to protect ourselves, our whānau, and those communities we are visiting. The best thing you can do is to get your COVID-19 vaccination and ensure you follow the guidance in line with the local traffic light settings. Health providers across the region are preparing to support additional numbers, just as they do every summer. At the same time, visitors should be aware that they are coming to smaller communities so need to take care and

be prepared while on holiday. It is important to have a plan in case you or your whānau need to isolate following a positive COVID-19 test or you’re notified of a close contact with a case. This means having enough food and any health supplies readily available where you are staying, or a plan for how you will return directly home to isolate. If you are unable to return home safely, you will be supported to isolate in accordance with the COVID-19 Care in the Community programme. We wish you and your whānau a safe and happy Christmas and wonderful New Year. Dr Kevin Snee – Chief Executive
