Greetings and Talofa Lava!
On the 20th of May every year since 2018, the World Bee Day is celebrated around the world.
This year’s theme focuses on raising and spreading awareness of the importance of bees to our food systems and means of addressing and minimizing threats for their survival.
Close to 90% of the world’s wild flowering plants rely entirely on bees for pollination. Honey bees not only pollinate crops we so depend on but also provide honey and other healthy products for healthy living styles and income for our beekeeping farmers.
However, there has been a decline in bee populations putting their survival and our livelihoods from beekeeping activities at risk. Let us continue to work together and implement sustainable beekeeping initiatives to reduce this impact on our food and nutrition security, livelihoods and our environment.
Wishing you all a very productive and successful World Bee Day!
Thank you & God Bless.
