The event for the official handover of the irrigation network in Ora and the Bee Festival was attended on Sunday by the President of the Parliament Anita Demetriou.
In her speech she described the completion of the restoration works of the main part of the irrigation network of the Ora Linou water reservoir as important, noting that the deadly fires of last summer completely destroyed the irrigation network and with it the flora and fauna of the region, including the precious workers of life, the bees.
He praised the work of the Rotary Clubs of Cyprus and the financial support of Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation's Disaster Response Fund, which volunteered to undertake the important task of restoring the network.
"As a result, water returned to the land of Ora, relieving the flora and fauna, as well as the people of the communities in the area. Among the beneficiaries of the restoration, and the bees, to which the 20th of May, the established World Bee Day, is annually dedicated," she said.
The President of the Parliament referred to the role of bees as nature's most important pollinators, contributing directly and beneficially to the preservation of our planet's fragile ecosystems, as well as to the health and well-being of people.
"The climate and environmental crisis threatens human activity, our health and ecosystems worldwide, from the forests of Siberia and the Arctic to the forests of Australia, the Mediterranean and Cyprus. By protecting bees, we are preserving the delicate balances of our planet's life ecosystem, we are preserving human life."
