World Bee Day was founded to celebrate the birth date of Anton Jansa, a Slovenian beekeeper who pioneered modern beekeeping methods. The celebration takes place on 20th May every year.
Bees and other pollinators such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds are fundamental to the survival of our ecosystems. Almost 90% of the world’s wildflowers, 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land rely on animal pollination.
Two species of bees became extinct in the UK in the 20th century. Now, due to a large-scale decline in their population, a third of the remaining species are listed on at least one of the English, Scottish and Welsh conservation species priority lists.
