World Bee Day on 20 May is more than just a date to admire these incredible insects—it’s a reminder of the vital role bees and other pollinators play in sustaining life on Earth.
Bees and their fellow pollinators are essential to our existence. Thanks to more than 20,000 bee species and other wild pollinators, we can enjoy a rich variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. These tiny creatures are responsible for helping plants reproduce, supporting agricultural livelihoods, and keeping biodiversity thriving.
However, their survival is under serious threat.
Habitat loss, climate change, and unsustainable farming practices are putting bee populations at risk. This impacts not only our food security and nutrition, but also the health of our planet.
