World Honey Bee Day, celebrated annually on the third Saturday of August, raises awareness about the vital role honey bees play in our ecosystem. These small but mighty insects are essential for pollinating plants, including many crops that feed the world. Without honey bees, our food supply would be drastically reduced.

The day also highlights the challenges bees face, such as habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and climate change. By supporting bee-friendly practices, such as planting flowers that attract bees and reducing pesticide use, we can help protect these crucial pollinators. World Honey Bee Day reminds us of the importance of bees and encourages actions to ensure their survival.
