World Bee Day 2024: Young People Can Make a Positive Impact
Bees and Pollinators: Vital for Nature
Bees and other pollinators play a crucial role in our ecosystems and food security. They pollinate nearly three-quarters of the plants that produce 90% of our food, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Without bees, our food supply would be drastically affected.
Engaging Young People
The theme for World Bee Day 2024 is "Bee Engaged with Youth." Young people have a vital role to play in protecting bees and pollinators. They can learn about the importance of these insects, take action to protect them, and inspire others to do the same.
