World Bee Day

20 May

May 20 marks the seventh annual World Bee Day, a day to celebrate the vital role bees play in food production, biodiversity and ecosystem health.

 

Bees are important to our livelihood as they help to pollinate most of the crops we eat and many that feed farm animals. Nearly two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural production benefits from bee pollination.

But bee populations are under threat. Destruction of their natural habitat, intensive farming practices, and pests and diseases are just some of the complex reasons driving a decline in both the number and diversity of bees.

Without bees, our food security is at risk.
