World Bee Day, on May 20
World Bee Day, on May 20 , celebrates the birthday of Anton Janša, an 18th-century beekeeping pioneer. Proclaimed by the UN in 2017, it aims to raise awareness about the importance of bees and the risks they face, such as extinction due to human impact. The European Commission has proposed a "New Pact for Pollinators" in 2023 to combat the decline of these insects in Europe. World Bee Day involves activities to promote the protection of bees and their habitat, as well as sustainable agricultural practices.
