Little bee Charlie Walsh and Pat Deasy of the Irish Bee Conservation Project celebrate the new pollinator trail opening at Fota House today.

The weather may be shocking, but the country is abuzz today, as people get ready to mark the fourth annual World Bee Day.

The celebration, which focuses on protecting and raising awareness of the vulnerable pollinators, first came to life in the United Nations in 2017. This year’s theme is ‘bee engaged - build back better for bees’.
