'Excuse the grass, we're feeding the bees' - Zebbug Council setting example with brilliant initiative
Haz Zebbug local council shared some photos on their Facebook page this morning of their new initiative that has kickstarted in their locality.
Sabiex inqajmu aktar kuxjenza dwar il-ħaxix selvaġġ u l-benefiċji tiegħu poġġejna numru ta' tabelli edukattivi madwar...

Through a Facebook post, Steve Zammit Lupi, local councillor expressed,
"The aim of these new signs is to create awareness that the grass found around soft areas in Haz Zebbug has a number of benefits for the environment. In fact, plants like peppermint, fennel, thistle, nettle, and bugloss are the bees’ main source of food, as well as butterflies and other creatures."
These plants also brighten up the area due to their colourful nature.
Well done, guys! This is definitely a step in the right direction!
