Fewer things are as vital to our everyday life than the bee. You may not think much about these fuzzy insects, but bees (and other pollinators, such as bats, butterflies, and hummingbirds) are the key to biodiversity and the vast majority of global food production. Without pollinators, the quality and the quantity of our food would go down.
That’s why, on May 20 of every year, we celebrate World Bee Day!
What is World Bee Day?
Since its establishment in 2014, World Bee Day focuses on the importance of pollinators, particularly the noble honey bee, and why we should protect and preserve them. For instance, did you know that
- …nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowers depend, whether entirely or partly, on pollinators?
- …more than 75% of the world’s food crop and 35% of agricultural land depend on pollinators?
- …pollinators contribute to agricultural biodiversity, which increases the quality and diversity of our food?

Bee Engaged With World Bee Day
Want to do your part to help pollinators survive and do what they do best? Here are some ideas:
- Donate to charities and research groups dedicated to the preservation of bees.
- Visit your local beekeepers to learn more about their work — and buy raw honey. It tastes great and contains all the nutrients that pasteurized store-bought honey lacks.
- Set up a pollinator-friendly habitat in your yard, garden, or other outdoor area. A good place to start is with nectar-bearing flowers and shrubs. An even easier thing you can do is make a bee water fountain.
- Use pesticides (if you must) that do not harm pollinators. Spray them when there’s no wind, and do so when bees are inactive: during the early morning or late night.
- Spread awareness on social media with the hashtag #WorldBeeDay.
