This blog was dedicated to the monitoring of latest developments in Central, Regional and Local politics from its base in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. The blog was run by a team with unique insights into latest developments. The Hive was not politically aligned, but did support policy that was best for the growth of business and the economy. Given the obvious interest from our readership The Hive from time to time delved into the politics of other countries or regions.

Beware The Green Bubble
One of the themes of the report published last week by the Business Council for Sustainable Development last week was the great opportunity that an emissions trading regime will give the New Zealand economy. Rod Oram bemoans the fact that more business groups are not also promoting these opportunities. Before you invest have a read of this short op-ed from today's New York Times. Like Oram and the BCSD we do actually believe that there are opportunities which should be investigated. But like Daniel Gross, we think you should be cautious.
