WORLD BEE DAY 2024: BEE ENGAGED WITH YOUTH
On the 7th anniversary of World Bee Day, the global spotlight once again shines on the vital contributions of bees and pollinators to our planet’s ecosystem. This year’s theme, “Bee engaged with Youth,” underscores the urgent need for collective action in preserving these essential species. The largest international event to mark World Bee Day will take place on May 22–23 in Ljubljana.
Organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the largest international event to mark World Bee Day, an international forum titled “Bees for people, planet and peace”, will be held on May 22–23 in Ljubljana. The event aims to unite government representatives, international organizations, experts, businesses and civil society members, fostering renewed collaboration in beekeeping and pollination efforts to advance sustainable development goals.
Slovenia’s initiative for World Bee Day, celebrated on the birth date of the 18th-century bee expert Anton Janša, gained global recognition when the UN General Assembly declared May 20th as World Bee Day in 2017. This proclamation, supported by 115 countries, underscores the significance of protecting bees and other pollinators as a collective responsibility.
