World Bee Day has recently been observed on which day of May 2026?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: 20 May. World Bee Day is observed annually on 20 May to highlight the role of bees and pollinators in agriculture, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Bees are key pollinators supporting flowering plants, with about 90% of wild plant species and 75% of global food crops dependent on pollination. Major drivers of pollinator decline include habitat loss, pesticide exposure, climate change, and diseases, along with emerging threats like microplastics and light pollution. Severe bee losses have been reported, including about 62% colony decline in the United States (2024–25) and major economic dependence of crops on pollinators. Pollinators include bees, butterflies, birds, bats, and other insects, making them essential for global biodiversity and food security. Neonicotinoid pesticides (e.g., thiamethoxam) are strongly linked to bee decline and have faced restrictions in regions like the European Union since 2018. Sustainable conservation measures include crop rotation, reduced pesticide use, and restoration of pollinator habitats, supported by global awareness through the Food and Agriculture Organization. Regional reports highlight growing risks: earlier bee swarm season in North America (2026) and about 40% insect pollinators at risk in Africa, with pesticide toxicity concerns in several countries.
