(Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations) World Bee Day is celebrated on 20 May each year. By observing this day, we can raise awareness of the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy and of the many challenges they face today.
Under the theme “Bee Together for People and the Planet - A partnership that sustains us all”, World Bee Day 2026 highlights and celebrates the long-lasting partnership between humans and bees.
For millennia, bees and people have shared a close and evolving connection, shaped by the ways communities across the world have relied on bees and other pollinators for food and livelihoods, with bees often becoming part of their cultures.
