World Bee Day 2024 to Focus on Youth

Recognizing the Role of Young People in Addressing Bee Conservation

In Brief:

World Bee Day 2024 will spotlight the crucial role that youth play in tackling challenges facing bees and other pollinators. The theme, "Bee Engaged with Youth," underscores the importance of empowering young people to contribute to bee conservation efforts.

Recognizing that youth hold the key to a sustainable future, World Bee Day 2024 aims to inspire and equip young individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make a meaningful impact on pollinator conservation.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has designated May 20th as World Bee Day to raise awareness about the vital role of bees and other pollinators in global food security, biodiversity, and environmental health.

The 2024 theme aligns with the FAO's commitment to empower youth as leaders in sustainable agriculture and food systems. By engaging with youth, World Bee Day seeks to foster a new generation of beekeepers, researchers, and advocates who will ensure the long-term protection of bees and other pollinators.
