DESCRIPTION:

Created in 2009 with USDA backing after lobbying from American beekeepers concerned by seriously declining numbers of bees due to herbicide use, Honey Bee Day evolved into an international campaign and is now observed in many countries throughout the world.

If you grew up before the 1990s you probably remember seeing a lot of bees in the summer. They were everywhere, anywhere there were flowers. Take a walk around your neighborhood today and more likely than not, you won't see a single bee. Where did they all go?

Insecticides and other chemicals have drastically culled the population of bees and other pollinators over the past two decades. This is devastating to food production and biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds and bats are essential to pollination. Without it, food won't grow. International Honey Bee Day is your opportunity to learn about the effects of pesticides on nature's workers and a chance to make your home, school or workplace pollinator friendly.
