World Bee Day

World Bee Day is celebrated on May 20 all over the world. This day reminds us of the important role bees play in balancing the ecosystem. May 20 was selected as World Bee Day to honor Anton Jansa, who started the art of beekeeping in the 18th century in Slovenia, Europe. World Bee Day is celebrated on his birthday every year.

Bees are known to make delicious honey, but they also help to protect the environment and fight climate change. They help in agriculture and provide jobs to people. Because the number of bees in the world is reducing, they are facing the threat of extinction. This is because of many human activities, such as using up land, using pesticides and more. Due to this, many people have started beekeeping as a hobby. Taking care of bees is called Apiculture. The person taking care of bees is called an apiarist.
