Bees are essential pollinators that help many plants grow and reproduce. Bee populations are facing challenges such as habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides. This photo story shows the daily life of bees and the role beekeepers play in supporting and protecting these important insects. By protecting pollinators, we protect biodiversity and the future of our food systems. P1 Bee at work A bee collects nectar and pollen from a flower. During this process, pollen sticks to the bee’s body and is transferred between plants, allowing them to reproduce. P2 The beekeeper A beekeeper checks on the hive to monitor the health of the bee colony. Responsible beekeeping helps protect bees from disease and environmental stress. P3 Helping the colony Extra food is placed near the hive to help the bees when natural nectar sources are limited. This support can be important during colder months or when flowers are scarce

Hemm xi ħaġa li tissorprendik tassew fil-ħarsa lejn ir-ragħaj jimxi bil-mod fost il-merħla tiegħu, b’xejn ħlief xaghri miftuħa, fjuri selvaġġi, u l-Mediterran bla tarf jinfirex quddiemu. Jum bniedem bħal dan mhuwiex immexxi mir-ritmu magħġġel modern, iżda bir-ritmu naturali u l-ħtiġijiet tal-annimali tiegħu. F’din is-serenità tinsab għena kalma li d-dinja moderna, bl-istorbju tagħha, diffiċli tirreplikah. Nimleww ħajjitna bl-‘iscreens’, ġranet mimmlija, u storbju, u madankollu minn ġewwa nibqu vojta. Ir-ragħaj ma jeħtieġ xejn minn dan kollu. Jaf il-merħla tiegħu, jaf l-art tiegħu, u forsi l-aktar importanti, jaf lilu nnifsu. Għalhekk spazju miftuħa huma bżonnjużi għax huma lok fejn nerġu niġu inse’ magħna infusna u insiru nafu x’hemm tassew ġewwa fina.

For the past decade, the EkoSkola committee at St Benedict College, Kirkop, has managed an organic olive‑harvesting project that blends tradition, sustainability, and hands‑on learning. In 2025, Year 7 and 8 students harvested 430 kg of olives, which were processed into 60 litres of olive oil and jars of preserved olives. Students designed labels and sold the products during school events. Half of the €940 profit was donated to Puttinu Cares, with the rest funding future EkoSkola initiatives. The project promoted health education, sustainable consumption, and active citizenship. Its success attracted recognition from the Climate Action Authority, which filmed a documentary. The committee now hopes to expand the initiative through community olive‑picking events across Malta.

The image above shows a box holding several waste materials from the aftermath of constructing and drilling the ground, some of which include plants. It further implies that for some construction sites involving drilling or just simple architecture, it can damage the environment around it. Due to construction for newer and more modern buildings, fewer urban areas are being used, if not replaced for the massive number of structures being built in Malta and practically even our entire world. Yes, it can help Malta’s image; however, we still require nature’s power for our daily life, which, in most cases, is being destroyed. Unfortunately, we can’t just pause construction as it’s important for some requirements. The choice is in their hands, but my suggestion is that they reduce the amount of construction done in a city or area.
