Next time you have a swarm of bees in your backyard, don’t call the exterminator.
Bees Up Top beekeeper Jessie Baker rescues bees and re-homes them in beehives on rooftops around Auckland’s CBD.
The city might sound like a weird place to have hives, but the urban landscape means bees are away from harmful pesticides that are used on farms - and are one of the biggest threats to bees.
