Helping the hive

This photo shows an open beehive where bees are feeding on a food substitute provided by beekeepers. Bees usually collect nectar and pollen from flowers, but sometimes they need extra support, especially when there are fewer flowers available due to seasonal changes, habitat loss, or climate change. Feeding bees helps the colony survive during difficult periods. Bees are essential pollinators that support biodiversity and help produce many of the foods we eat. This image raises awareness of how important it is to protect pollinators. By planting flowers, reducing pesticide use, and supporting beekeepers, we can help bees and ecosystems.

This mandarin tree is covered in sharp thorns, which help protect it from animals that might eat its leaves or fruit. Thorns are a natural way for plants to defend themselves and survive in their environment. This image shows how nature has its own ways of adapting and protecting life. However, plants today also face threats from human activities such as pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. This photo reminds us that nature is strong but still needs our care. By protecting the environment and supporting sustainable practices, we can help plants and ecosystems continue to grow.

Fragile Remains

This image of a mouse skeleton reminds us how fragile life in our ecosystems can be. Small animals like mice play an important role in nature, helping maintain balance in food chains and supporting biodiversity. However, they are often affected by human activities such as pollution, habitat loss, and the widespread use of pesticides. Chemicals used to control pests can harm many other species and disrupt entire ecosystems. This photo raises awareness about the hidden impact our actions can have on wildlife. By reducing harmful chemicals, protecting habitats, and choosing more sustainable practices, we can help protect even the smallest lives that keep nature in balance.

This image highlights the global crisis of plastic pollution and its impact on our seas, ecosystems, and food systems. A can of tuna, expected to contain fish from the sea, appears half filled with plastic symbolizing how human waste is increasingly replacing natural resources. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans and sea, threatening marine life. This issue connects us all, because the health of the sea affects the health of the planet and our future. We are eating plastic ourselves. Take action today: reduce plastic use, recycle responsibly, and support solutions that protect our oceans.

The red poppy flower

This photo shows a poppy flower growing in the wild. It shows that wild flowers are important and they grow without anyone planting them. Seeds sometimes get carried away by the wind and insects pollinate flowers and food. That is why it is important to plant native flowers.

Our Bee-utiful Environment – Written by Kate Gatt Taliana Philippa Cascun and Carla Camilleri

This article is based on an interview with a beekeeper who helped explain why bees are so important. Maltese honeybees are special because they only live in Malta and help plants grow by carrying pollen from one flower to another. Without bees, many fruits, vegetables and even chocolate would be hard to find! Bees are in danger because buildings are replacing their homes, pollution makes them sick, and flowers sometimes bloom at the wrong time. We can help by planting bee friendly flowers, keeping nature clean, giving bees water, and avoiding harmful chemicals. Bees love flowers like clover, wild thyme, capers, wild fennel, daisies and poppies. At school, we planted flowers and learned how to build bee hotels. Bees are amazing: they have five eyes, some live only a few weeks, and they even dance to communicate! Protecting bees helps keep nature healthy.

A part of Malta that is slowly disappearing. The garrigue scrubland surrounding the old ruin is one of the island’s most threatened natural habitats. It is fragile, ecologically rich, and increasingly at risk from human activity. This weathered ruin has stood undisturbed for generations. The habitat surrounding it, however, is under threat.We should not overlook this ecosystem, garrigue deserves far greater recognition and protection before it is too late.
