DESCRIPTION:

Created in 2009 with USDA backing after lobbying from American beekeepers alarmed by declining bee populations due to herbicide use, Honey Bee Day evolved into an international campaign.

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?

Over the past two decades, insecticides and other chemicals have drastically culled the bees and pollinator populations, devastating food production and biodiversity. Bees, butterflies, birds, and bats are essential to pollination; without them, 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.
