Bee Facts
Thanks to Friends of the Earth, Malta, here is a chance to learn more about bees… From Shakespeare to Harry Potter – we’ve been in awe of bees for centuries. But how much do you really know about the insects that play such a unique role in our environment, economy and culture? Did you know that some bee species are solitary and live in individual nests – in the ground, brickwork, wood or hollow plant stems? That effective pollination of many crops relies on a diverse range of bee species? Dumbledore – a character in the Harry Potter series – is an old Cornish word for bumblebee?; Find out more! Download the Bee Cause booklet on pollinators and the plants they love.

A world which from an early age children should learn how to respect, love and live within. A world which is inhibited by humans and other living species alike.
