The bees’ knees

With Queenstown’s Dan Childs having seen firsthand the amazing work charity Baskets of Blessing does, he was happy to recently return the favour.

After his family received a food parcel, he arranged for a member of the Whakatipu Beekeepers Club to donate two beehives to the Queenstown Harvest Community Gardens (QHCG), which often grows produce to donate to the charity.

Childs, right, is pictured with Dave Reid from QHCG, who’ll look after the bees. Reid says he’s ‘‘over the moon’’ to have received the beehives.
