Kiwi Bees Have Tiny Knees - by Rachel Weston

It’s hard to be noticed when you’re the size of an apple seed! New Zealand’s 28 species of native bees are teeny-tiny and super speedy! Kiwi bees pollinate Aotearoa’s native plants and trees — and they truly are the bee’s knees!

Most people are not aware that New Zealand has native bees, but once you meet them, you are sure to fall in love with them! Author Rachel Weston is thrilled and honoured to introduce Aotearoa’s gentle little bees. With 36 stunning photographic images, fun illustrations, diagrams and QRvideo clips of native bees zipping and zooming, Kiwi Bees Have Tiny Knees is an informative, interactive visual feast.

Native bees have been flying under the radar for far too long, until now. Kiwi Bees Have Tiny Knees connects children to the world around them, where native bees (ngaro huruhuru) have had a long evolutionary history with New Zealand’s unique heritage—they are a taonga!
