The United Nations designated May 20, 2022, as World Bee Day, “To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face. Together with wild pollinators, bees play a major role in maintaining biodiversity, ensuring the survival and reproduction of many plants, supporting forest regeneration, promoting sustainability and adaptation to climate change, improving the quantity and quality of agricultural productions.”
