Unique Insect: Interview with Arnold Grech

The Foundation is thrilled to announce the release of the full interview with Arnold Grech. A short excerpt from this interview was previously featured in the educational video “Unique Insect: The Maltese Honey Bee” which the Foundation unveiled a few months ago. Arnold Grech, a name that is synonymous with the Maltese Honey Bee. A veteran beekeeper who has been rearing honey bees since 1949, Arnold was the principal Maltese investigator who together with international researchers, definitively classified the Maltese Honey bee naming it Apis mellifera ruttneri, paying homage to the esteemed German apidologist Fredreich Ruttner. Throughout his tenure as Agricultural Officer, Arnold played a pivotal role in Maltese apiculture, a commitment he continues to this day by still being a beekeeper.
