- World Bee Day is celebrated every year on May 20th. Its objective is to raise awareness regarding the role of bees and other pollinators in agriculture, biodiversity, and ecosystems.
- In 2026, serious reports have emerged from various parts of the world concerning declining bee populations, colony losses, climate change, and the impact of pesticides.
- Experts believe that if pollinators are not protected, it could have a profound impact on both global food security and the environment.
- Bees are among the world's most important pollinators. They play a crucial role in the pollination of flowering plants and food crops.
- It is estimated that approximately 90 percent of wild flowering plant species depend on pollinators, while about 75 percent of the world's food crops rely on pollination for their production and quality.
- The process of pollination is not limited solely to agricultural production; rather, it helps maintain the balance of the entire ecosystem. A decline in bee populations could have an adverse effect on the production of fruits, vegetables, and seeds.
