Our project furthers the work of the global CALENDARS Project to assess climate change indicators, changes in practices, and the outlook regarding beekeeping in New Zealand. We interviewed experienced beekeepers and apiculture experts to collect their perceptions of beekeeping seasons. Discussions revealed that climate science is echoed by the experiences of New Zealand beekeepers. Hand-drawn calendars and the online Calendar Tool were used to collect and synthesize calendar data and could be effective additions to the CALENDARS Project.
