    Bees and other pollinators are essential for sustainable agriculture and ecological balance, enabling the production of over 75% of global crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Their role enhances not only the quantity but also the quality and diversity of our food. Yet, they face growing threats from habitat loss, unsustainable farming, and climate change.World Bee Day 2025, with the theme “Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all,” emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices inspired by nature's ecosystems. Strategies like intercropping, crop rotation and agroforestry support pollinators, ensuring food security, biodiversity, and resilience against food shortages. Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge highlights the importance of harmony between agriculture and nature, offering invaluable lessons for biodiversity preservation.Protecting pollinators fosters key ecosystem services like pest control, soil health, and water regulation. This year’s theme underscores the need for holistic approaches to ensure the long-term coexistence of agriculture, pollinators, and the environment.Use this guide to learn, take action, and safeguard the future of pollinators!

    We depend on bees and other pollinators for our existence. They play a vital role in agriculture and global ecosystems by maintaining our food supply and contributing to biodiversity and other ecosystem services. The vast majority of pollinators are wild, including over 20 000 species of bees and many types of butterflies, birds, bats and other insects. However, in many areas, bees, pollinators, and many other insects are declining in abundance and diversity. Most of these drivers are human-induced. The celebration of World Bee Day on 20 May presents an opportunity to call for global cooperation and solidarity to ensure that we prioritize efforts to protect bees and other pollinators, thereby mitigating threats posed to food security and agricultural livelihoods and defending against biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. World Bee Day is also an occasion to raise awareness of how everyone can make a difference to support, restore and enhance the role of pollinators.
