WORLD BEE DAY

World Bee Day is held on May 20 each year. The international day is designed to highlight the contributions of bees and other pollinators to the ecosystem.

Every year on this day, the global public will be focusing on the importance of protecting honey bees and other pollinators. People will be reminded of how bees are vital in meeting the human needs.

Honey has antiseptic properties and has traditionally been used as a dressing for wounds and a first aid treatment for burns and cuts. 3. 3. The body is able to digest the natural fruit sugars in honey, fructose and glucose. This is why athletes and athletes use honey to give them a natural energy boost. 4. The art of beekeeping has existed for at least four decades. 5. Bees must collect nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey from one pound of honey. 6. To produce one pound of honey, one bee must fly about 90,000 miles – three times around the world – to produce one pound of honey. 7. The average bee will produce only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. 8. During a collection trip, A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers. 9. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles per hour and as fast as 15 miles per hour. 10. Bees can communicate by dancing.

History

On this day, Slovenian Anton Jan Jana, the beekeeping pioneer, was born in 1734. Beekeeping is so important in Slovenia that the country's national motto is "Land of the Good Beekeepers." The country produces gourmet honey, provides beekeeping tourism, and likes to point out that the Slovenes – the country's richest Slavic nation – gets its work ethic from the honey bee.

World Bee Day was chosen month in the northern hemisphere because pollination is highest during that time, and in the southern hemisphere it is a time for harvesting honey and bee products.

On September 15th, 2014, the idea for a World Bee Day was first introduced. While driving to work at The Slovenian Beekeeper's Association, where he is president, listening to a radio show about World Days and their meanings, Bostjan Noc wondered why beekeepers didn't have their own day. Given that bees and other pollinators are increasingly endangered, and that bees and other pollinators are increasingly insecure, and that human intervention and assistance are almost impossible to survive without human intervention and assistance, it was only right that the global community be made aware.
