The special Cypriot honeybee is in danger. It is very important for nature and farms. People must protect it. A plan to help is waiting for the government. This has taken almost one year. Beekeepers are worried. They fear less fruit and smaller harvests.
Last year, beekeepers gave a plan. It is for a special place. This place will help the local queen bees. The plan wants to help the bee numbers grow. It also wants to keep them healthy. The government has not said yes yet. Beekeepers want to use land in Nicosia.
The Cypriot honeybee has problems. Other bees can hurt local bees. Dry times mean less food for bees. This makes them sick. The government does not help enough. The future of this bee is not sure. If this bee goes away, nature and money will be hurt.
The new centre will help make good queen bees. This will help the Cypriot honeybee get stronger. It can also be a place to learn about bees. Beekeepers need this for learning. But the plan is slow because of papers.
The government wants to build the centre. But beekeepers must finish their papers. The plan needs their full application.
The delay is a big worry. If we do not act fast, the bee could be lost. This is bad for the island. The beekeepers' plan is good. But the government must act now.
