20 May - World Bee Day

 


World Bee Day is an international observance held on May 20th each year. It was designated by the United Nations to raise awareness about the importance of bees and other pollinators for our ecosystems, food production, and biodiversity. The day aims to highlight the critical role bees play in pollinating crops and maintaining healthy ecosystems.

World Bee Day was first celebrated on May 20th, 2018, to commemorate the birthday of Anton Janša, a pioneer in modern beekeeping. On this day, various events and activities take place globally to promote bee conservation, sustainable beekeeping practices, and the protection of pollinators' habitats. These activities often include educational programs, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and planting initiatives to create bee-friendly environments.

The observance of World Bee Day serves as a reminder of the need to protect bees and pollinators to ensure food security and preserve the balance of nature.
