Bee Keeping & Permaculture – Fully Booked

Jorge is a young, local beekeeper, taking care of beehives in various sites in Malta, some of which are currently in Rabat. He breeds the Maltese honey bee, a subspecies of the European honey bee. He uses sustainable practices, and during this visit, he will explain the role of bees as keystone creatures for the environment, the lifecycle of the honey bee and there will be a viewing of the beehives.  🐝

The session is for individuals who are part of the BeeAware course and also open to people who are interested to view a bee-hive inspection and gain first-hand experience into beekeeping and how apiculture is a crucial role in the food and agriculture sector. We will also visit a permaculture site and understand the importance of permaculture and organic farming methods for pollinators and to promote biodiversity.
