Why You Should Try Beekeeping

I feel it is important to keep bees because they help the environment grow and thrive. People who live in rural  properties should give it a go. Maybe some day you might be a beekeeper. 

Bees are vital for the human food chain. They pollinate flowers and flowers are eaten by live stock and the meat and milk from livestock is eaten by you and me. Think of your favourite dairy or meat product. For instance ice cream. Imagine a world with out ice cream. 

Bees are great for crops and orchardists because they pollinate every thing and if there were no bees there would be no fruits.

If you like exceptional flavours then you should try  the mouth watering, delectable, might I add the outstanding HONEY!!!

You can also make a large amount of money from bee keeping with honey and wax. Manuka honey is a little expensive.  Manuka honey will give you a little bit more money for your work as it is known to have good healing properties. Also you could make an income from renting the hives to farmers so the bees can pollinate the crops and other plants.

Bee keeping is a good job, good hobby and best of all gives you HONEY!!! . 

The Film Fesfival

Toki Pounamu Film Festival 

 

This morning the seniors went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival at the Regent Theatre. The Toki Pounamu Film Festival is a time where most School in the West Coast district come together and share the films that we make. This year, the first year for the whole west coast, the topic was 'our place' and that means the things you love to see and do on the West Coast. 

 

The film I liked was called The Robber.  It started out with a news anchor talking about how 3 millon dollars worth of property was stolen from around town. It says meanwhile and the screen cuts to a person dressed in black and he goes to sleep and  the sheriff and a detective came across the sleeping robber the robber wakes up and. The camera turns to slow motion and the sheriff gets his 22 lor revolver  and swings his arms around in the air and the detective tackles the robber and the robber was on the ground. The sheriff screams at the robber to stop resisting and the detective aims the gun at his head and threatens to shoot him. This was the end of the film. I liked the film because they took something serious and turned it to something funny.  They did a great job with the editing of the slow motion sequences. They had costumes and props. I really enjoyed watching this film.
