Miscellaneous Monday – World Bee Day
Happy Monday, everyone! We’ve found our way into May. We are busy with a million end-of-the-school-year activities and trying to catch some sunshine in between many many rainstorms that spring has brought our way.
Spring also brings flowers, pollen, and bees. And, it just so happens that today, May 20th, is World Bee Day.
Lately, the concerns about bees being endangered have become widely noted among people all over the world, but how to take action about it has become scarce in this age. That’s why World Bee Day exists to educate people about the importance of bees and how they can help preserve them for the sake of the future. If you want to help save these fuzzy insects from extinction, then read down below to learn more about what World Bee Day is about!
World Bee Day corresponds with an important influencer in the pioneering of beekeeping. Anton Janša, who in the 18th century pioneered modern beekeeping techniques in his native Slovenia, was one of the first people to help bring about the importance of bees in the world environment. Since then, beekeeping has become a vital necessity in the world’s ecosystems and economic systems. However, not many people realize the importance of bees or know how to help save the bees, which led to the announcement of World Bee Day through the United Nations.
If you’re wanting to do more, find a charity that goes towards bee conservation and donate through there. Start a garden and place a wide arrangement of fruits, vegetables, and flowers that you know bees would like. Looking to be more proactive about how you purchase your food? Go to a local beekeeper and purchase honey from them.
A quick glance at the Shoppe reveals A LOT of kits that have bees hidden within them, but I went looking for some products that featured bees or honey a little more prominently. Here’s what I found:
I also took a swing through the gallery to find layouts about bees from our talented community:
Our world really does depend on bees, so take this day to remember how important they are. If you happen to encounter a bee today, take a quick picture and scrap a bee-loving layout. And, of course, don’t forget to share your layouts with all of us.
