World Bee Day - 20 May 2022.
On December 20, 2017, the United Nations General Assembly adopted by consensus a resolution declaring 20 May as World Bee Day. The resolution was co-sponsored by 115 UN Member States, with the aim to raise public awareness and attention around the world to the importance of protecting and preserving bees and other pollinators.
Led by the Slovenian government, the announcement is the culmination of three years of work not just with the UN but all over the world promoting the importance of bees and other pollinators, both for the sustainable development of the insects themselves, and their importance to humanity.
Although this is regarded as a major success for worldwide beekeeping, Dejan Židan, head of the World Bee Day project and Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, warned “This is just the beginning of the difficult process of the protection of bees and other pollinators.
In order to be successful, we must bring on board the governments of all countries, the business community and civil society.
Awareness of the vital importance of saving the bees must reach every individual. And we must do more than just talk – we must undertake concrete activities to increase care for bees and promote the development of beekeeping – everywhere, including in developing countries.”
