The University of Auckland Chronobiology group uses cutting-edge technology to non-invasively study the bee clock and understand ways to manipulate it to improve the health and management of bees in Aotearoa.

As it is Fraud Awareness Week, the government has announced its plan to tackle the issue of scamming in Aotearoa by collaborating with the public and banking sectors.
Producer Athena spoke to Professor of Law at the University of Auckland, Alexandra Andhov, about why this step is welcome, while also indicating a broader issue of Big Tech companies having unregulated influence over social media users.
Last week, the Treaty Principles Bill passed it’s first reading in Parliament.
Following this, Te Pāti Māori MP, Hana Rawhiti Maipa-Clarke, initiated a haka in protest, being joined by other members of the party, as well as other MPs from opposition parties such as Labour and the Green Party. On top of this, members of the gallery also performed the haka. This resulted in Speaker, Gerry Brownlee, pausing Parliament for an hour, with Hana Rawhiti Maipa-Clarke, being named by the speaker for ‘disorderly conduct’
