World Bee Day: Raising Awareness About the Importance of Pollinators
World Bee Day
Observing World Bee Day annually aims to educate the public about the crucial role that bees and other pollinators play in our ecosystems. The United Nations designated May 20th as World Bee Day to emphasize the significance of pollinators, their vulnerability, and their contributions to sustainable development.
Celebrating Anton Janša
When we say "bee," we often envision the European honeybee, an introduced species widely used in commercial honey production. However, numerous native bee species are vital for pollination in various regions, supporting plant and agricultural diversity.
Local Initiatives
Cooperative and local organizations play a significant role in supporting beekeeping. They offer training and education to farmers, assisting them in establishing beekeeping practices. By producing honey and value-added products like royal jelly, these cooperatives contribute to sustainable livelihoods.
Purpose of World Bee Day
World Bee Day, held annually on May 20th, commemorates the birth of Anton Janša, a pioneer in beekeeping. The international day aims to raise awareness, promote understanding, and inspire action to protect pollinators and ensure their well-being.
