Zestin Soh
Manager (Community Parks), NParks
Zestin ensures that neighbourhood parks
under his care are well-maintained and safe
places for residents to enjoy. His work also
gives him the opportunity to research about the
bees of Singapore.
When did you discover your interest in bees?
During an internship when I was in university,
I conducted a research study on flower-visiting
animals in Singapore’s parks, and I had my first
up-close encounter with bees. I was surprised
that many of them were colourful and did not
live in colonies – unlike what I expected a bee
to be! My study led to many bee species being
recorded from Singapore for the first time,
revealing that there is still so much to learn Zestin, pictured leading participants of the Bees and
