Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Bee Day is observed every year on May 20 to recognise the crucial role bees and other pollinators play in sustaining ecosystems, food security, and biodiversity. Established by the United Nations, this day raises awareness about the threats faced by pollinators such as habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. The 2025 theme, “Bee Inspired by Nature to Nourish Us All,” emphasizes how protecting pollinators supports sustainable agriculture, helps mitigate biodiversity loss, and ensures global food security. Given their vital role in pollinating over 75% of food crops, protecting bees is essential for ecological balance and human well-being.
