The Hive

"Get the latest buzz on local stories and solutions" about sustainable gardening, building, energy use, water use, and waste minimization and more

Airing time: Now replaying at 4am Fridays, or your choice, on demand



Hive Taranaki was the trading name for the Taranaki Environmental Education Trust, a charitable trust which has been working for Taranaki since 1992.

The Hive Centre opened in New Plymouth in 2010, around the time this radio show started.  They managed a range of projects including the Hive Environment Centre, Enviroschools Program and Connex youth.

The Hive radio show, hosted by Peter Heard and Nell Rose, was full of simple and sophisticated solutions and stories about sustainable gardening, building, energy use, water use, and waste minimization, that are just as relevant and important now as they were 10 years ago.
