World Bee Day
This annual event highlights the crucial role that bees and other pollinators play in maintaining biodiversity, supporting ecosystems, and ensuring food security worldwide.
Over 75% of the world’s crops depend on pollination by bees, birds, and other creatures.
Bees are in decline: Habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and disease have led to significant declines in bee populations globally. World Bee Day raises awareness about these threats and encourages action to protect pollinators
Bees support biodiversity: By pollinating plants, bees help maintain diverse ecosystems that benefit all forms of life.
How to Celebrate World Bee Day 2024:
- Plant bee-friendly flowers: Create a garden or outdoor space with native plants that provide food and habitat for pollinators.
- Support sustainable farming practices: Buy locally-sourced, organic products that minimize harm to bees and their environments.
- Reduce pesticide use: Avoid or limit the use of harmful chemicals in your garden or agricultural practices.
- Educate yourself and others: Learn more about pollinators and share knowledge through events, workshops, or online platforms.
World Bee Day reminds us of the interconnectedness of life and the need to protect the tiny pollinators that sustain so much of our natural world. Join in to celebrate bees and work toward their conservation!
