20 May 2025, we celebrate World Bee Day, an occasion dedicated to recognizing the vital role of bees and other pollinators in our ecosystems.
Established in 2018 at the initiative of the Slovenian government, with the support of @Apimondia (International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations) and officially declared by the UN General Assembly, World Bee Day takes place every year on May 20 – the birthdate of Anton Janša, a Slovenian pioneer of modern apiculture born in 1734.
This year’s theme, unveiled by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), “Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all,” highlights the crucial contribution of pollinating insects, particularly bees, to global food security and nutrition. It also underscores the urgent need to restore ecosystems and protect biodiversity.
