Bumblebee Trail at The Elms, Tauranga Another successful Bumblebee Trail was held at The Elms , Mission Street, Tauranga in January 2026. We had five stations all around these beautiful gardens for the kids to visit and learn some fun facts all about the wonderful world of bumblebees. Geoff gave several talks and there were prizes for the kids. The feedback was wonderful and Buzz O' Bumble, our new mascot toy, sure entertained the kids! Many thanks the The Elms for hosting this event for us...

New Zealand is home to four species of bumblebees but identifying each one can be challenging. We have collaborated with the University of Otago to create a helpful guide. Download the file and see if you are able to identify the various species. We show where each species is likely to be found and some of their important characteristics.

A fun project for kids to make using eco friendly materials
