Directions Website

Katerina is the mascot representing the Maltese Honey Bee, Malta’s National Insect. I am Katerina, the mascot of Malta’s National Insect, the Maltese Honey Bee.

She was created by the Foundation for the Conservation of the Maltese Honey Bee to raise awareness and inspire appreciation for this unique insect. I love to teach children in kindergarten and primary schools all about how important bees are for our environment. Through my songs, videos, and fun activities, I help kids see and understand the amazing role I play in keeping Malta’s nature healthy and buzzing!
