Sponsor a Bee Hive

The Maltese honey bee is a sub-species of the honey bee, Apis Mellifera Ruttneri, and is endemic to the Maltese Islands. This bee was always found in the wild but has become rarer to spot due to its decline.
Friends of the Earth Malta is currently establishing an apiary to serve as a home for this bee.
Help us help the bees by sponsoring the upkeep of one of our hives through a contribution of €50 per person per year.
In return, you will receive a thank you, with the following:

• BeeCause kit (tote bag and material)
• A bee-hotel or honey (subject to availability)
