Canada: Native Bees
There are approximately 4,000 species of bees native to North America and more than 850 native to Canada. Many bee populations, however, are in decline due to habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change. On this nice Cover from Canada you can see two stamps dedicated to natives bees in Canada. The rare rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) and its colourful and more common co-star, a metallic green bee (Agapostemon virescens). This Cover was cancelled in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, which is supposed to be the Honey captial of Saskatchewan, producing 10% of Canada's honey. For this reason the people of Tisdale built a large Bee (Dimensions: Height: 7 Feet (2.1 Metres) Wingspan: 11 Feet 6 Inches (3.5 Metres) Length: 16 Feet (4.9 Metres), which is the most famous attraction there.

Croatia: Football - Silver Medal at the FIFA World Cup 2018
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Final took place on 15 July 2018 to determine the winners of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The match was contested by France and Croatia, and held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia. France won the match 4–2, having taken a 2–1 lead during the first half on an own goal and penalty awarded by the video assistant referee (VAR), both firsts in a World Cup final. However, to win the silver medal was a huge success for coach Zlatko Dalić and his croatian team. Because of this Hrvatska Post issued this nice minisheet shown on the cover below sent from the capital of Croatia Zagreb.
