World Bee Day
World Bee Day
Honey bees may be small, but without them, your grocery list would be a lot shorter. No more berries, avocados or even coffee. Alongside butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, bees pollinate nearly 90% of the world"s wild flowering plants and over 35% of the food crops we rely on. World Bee Day, marked every May 20, honours these vital pollinators and celebrates Anton Janša, a pioneer of modern beekeeping. Janša saw bees as the noblest of insects, an idea now backed by science.Desktop Version
Christmas market in Leipzig, Germany
Christmas market in Leipzig, Germany
Do you know what people bought at Christmas markets 567 years ago? Not costly ornaments or fancy souvenirs but candles, spices, local goods, knitted items and toys. Leipzig"s Christmas market began in 1458 and quickly became a favourite stop for merchants and locals alike. Today, with its cultural and culinary offerings spread across the historic old town and about 300 stalls, it is one of the largest Christmas markets in Germany. Imagine streets buzzing with the chatter of traders and children following the scent of "Lebkuchen"—honey-sweetened cakes. This is where townsfolk gather to celebrate winter and catch up on news while sipping mulled wine. These markets have always symbolised more than shopping—they offer an escape from the everyday routine.Desktop Version

The summer opening of Buckingham Palace
The summer opening of Buckingham Palace
Every summer, the royal gates swing open and the red carpets roll out—not for visiting dignitaries, but for the public. Buckingham Palace—the King"s official London residence—opens 19 of its State Rooms to visitors, inviting them to explore the spaces where knighthoods are conferred and presidents are welcomed. The walls are lined with masterpieces from the Royal Collection, including works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto and others. Why summer? Because the monarch is usually away. This year, the gates opened on 10 July and will remain open until 28 September.Desktop Version

Horse Head Rock, New South Wales, Australia
Horse Head Rock, New South Wales, Australia
You can lead a horse to water, but you can"t make it drink—unless, of course, you"re talking about Horse Head Rock, perched off the Sapphire Coast near Bermagui in New South Wales, Australia. This ancient formation, pictured here, seems as if nature itself has sculpted a mythical creature forever poised to drink from the sea. Estimated to be 500 million years old, the rock"s uncanny resemblance to a horse bending its neck is the result of wind and wave erosion. As one of the region"s oldest and most iconic landmarks, it attracts hikers, photographers and nature lovers year-round. The best views are from the elevated track between Camel Rock and Murunna Point, while the more daring can scramble around from Camel Rock Surf Beach, though only safely at low tide.Desktop Version

International Museum Day
International Museum Day
This International Museum Day, let"s immerse ourselves in Raoul Dufy"s 600-square-metre fresco. The "La Fée Electricité" (The Spirit of Electricity) is housed at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. This stunning artwork was created for the Pavilion of Light and Electricity at the 1937 International Exhibition of Art and Technology in Modern Life. The painting was inspired by the poem "On the Nature of Things," written by Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius. Raoul Dufy"s work vividly depicts the evolution of electricity through two main themes: the history of electricity and its applications.Desktop Version
