Significance of World Bee Day:

The thought for a World Bee Day was considered on September 15, 2014. Slovenian beekeeper Bostjan Noc was heading to work at The Slovenian Beekeeper's Association where he is president, listening to a radio program about World Days and their significance and he asked why honey bees didn't have their own day.

Taking into account that each third spoonful of the world's food depends on honey bees and different pollinators. Bees are increasingly endangered and almost no longer able to survive without human interventions and support. Hence, it appeared to be just right that the worldwide open ought to be made mindful about this day.

Here are some interesting facts about the Bees that you must not be aware of:

• The practice of beekeeping dates back at least 4,500 years.
• Bees must gather nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey
• One bee has to fly about 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey.
• The average bee will make only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
• A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.
