what date, history and traditions of the holiday

Striped laborers living in families and busy pollinating flowers and collecting nectar received their own holiday a few years ago. Bees are highly organized insects, the vital activity of which is extremely important not only for human health, but also for ecosystems in which they are a necessary link. Komsomolskaya Pravda tells who and when celebrates Bee Day in Russia and the world in 2024.

When is the day of bees celebrated in Russia and the world

Bee Day is celebrated annually at the same time — May 20, . This world holiday owes its appearance to the person from whom the development of modern beekeeping began — the Slovenian artist and enthusiastic beekeeper Anton Janša.

History of the holiday

Bees are ancient creatures, whose age is more than 50 million years. It is believed that the first honey bees appeared from wasps, which, as a result of a long evolution, switched from animal food to vegetable food in feeding offspring, bringing them nectar and pollen. The appearance of insects began to change, and hunting instincts gave way to the need to collect food from flowers and feed the brood.

At first, the bees collected nectar from plants randomly, but over time, thanks to the same evolution, the insects developed a pattern of visiting flowers of the same species. They began to distinguish them according to certain characteristics: aroma, color, shape. Systematic pollination also affected the diversity of the plant world — bees, without knowing it, became the cause of the development of flora on our planet.

Insects have learned to form communities and multiply quickly. The offspring left their homes and developed new territories. Gradually, the bees developed a “family way of life”, a division of duties, they began to linger longer in their familiar places, looking for more comfortable dwellings.

Bees have now reached the highest level of evolution among insects living on the planet.

It is not surprising that people became interested in such beautiful and developed creatures. People have been studying and domesticating bees for many decades, achieving great success in this matter. The products produced by the beekeeping industry are used by millions of people on the planet.

One of the most important people in the field of breeding and studying bees was the Slovenian artist and beekeeper Anton Jansa. He devoted his whole life to his passion and left many achievements and discoveries in this field to his followers. The advice and developments of the eminent beekeeper are still actively used all over the world.

Anton Janša’s numerous achievements in the field of beekeeping prompted the Republic of Slovenia in 2017 to put forward a proposal to found a world holiday — Day of the Bees. The beekeeper’s birthday, May 20, was chosen as the date.

Traditions

Bee Day in Russia in 2024 will be fun and noisy. By May 20, fairs and exhibitions are often timed, where Russian beekeepers come to share their secrets and achievements in this area. Well, ordinary visitors to such events will not be able to leave here without a jar of excellent honey.

Interesting facts

• More than 15 thousand varieties of bees have been studied all over the world.
• About 150 kg of honey gives one hive for a year of fruitful work.
• To produce 1 kg of honey, bees need to fly around 8 million flowers.
• In winter, bees eat only honey and eat about 30 kg during this period.
• A bee recognizes the smell of nectar at a distance of a kilometer.
• A bee is capable of lifting about 30 times its own weight.
• When a bee’s belly is stuffed with nectar, it loses its ability to sting.
• Workaholics from different hives will not be able to fly into each other’s houses, as they will immediately be attacked by defender bees.
• The bee has 5 eyes.
• The bee dies as soon as it releases its sting, unlike the wasp.
• The queen bee lays up to a thousand eggs daily.
• During a fire, a bee begins to stock up on honey even more. At this moment, the instinct of self-preservation is activated. That is why smoke is used in beekeeping. However, in everything you need to know the measure. Too much smoke can make them angry
• Bees warn their relatives about the presence of nearby food by performing a special dance based on flying around their axis.
• The bee always finds its way home, even if it flies a long distance.
• The nectar contains glucose, sucrose and fructose.
• Among the bees you can meet albinos — they are distinguished by white eyes.
• A loaded bee can reach speeds of up to 65 km/h.
• Communication between bees occurs with the help of pheromones and various movements.
• During a long flight, a bee can eat about half of the collected nectar.
• During one honey harvest, a bee flies a path equal to the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
• The main pest for bees is the hawk moth. She deftly copies the sound of the queen bee, confusing the rest of the bees.

World Bee Day

Most people are afraid of bees. Few are happy with the unexpected
encounters with these insects. Usually the bees are happy to make
a company for a picnic. They come for something
tasty and become unexpected guests. But if you take into account
everything they do for us, we would not brush aside
these beneficial insects. After all, worker bees are one of the reasons
on which we have food, also rich in trace elements.
Lots of healthy and nutritious foods like fruits,
vegetables, seeds, nuts and oils would simply disappear without
pollinators. These tiny inhabitants of planet Earth are definitely
deserve treats and a holiday dedicated to them!

Why May 20th? May is the month of lush
development of bees and nature in the northern hemisphere, and in the southern
hemisphere is autumn time when food is collected
beekeeping, and the season for honey and honey products begins.

So, today the planet celebrates World Bee Day. In that
day — May 20, the founder of the
modern beekeeping and a great expert in this
area Anton Jansha. Ecological holiday was established by the UN
initiated by Slovenia in December 2017 «in order to
reminders of the importance of pollinators, their threats and
their contribution to sustainable development” .

Pollination of bees is important both ecologically and
from a commercial point of view. Bees belong to
major pollinator species in many ecosystems,
containing flowering plants. Scientists have calculated that one
a third of human nutrition depends on the pollination of plants
insects, most of which are bees — and
wild and domesticated.

Anton Janša was the first modern beekeeping teacher in the world, and the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa appointed him as a permanent teacher in this field at the new beekeeping school in Vienna.

Jansha became famous even before his death in 1773. After 1775, all state teachers of beekeeping were required to teach this discipline in accordance with its content and teaching method.

At the same time, over the past 50 years, there has been a general decrease in
species richness of wild bees and other pollinators. It’s connected with
intensive farming practices, with the stress of
increasing the number of parasites and diseases, using
pesticides and a reduction in wildflowers. A
Climate change is only exacerbating the problem.

About 35% of invertebrate pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, and
about 17% of vertebrate pollinators such as bats
are under the threat of global extinction.

In 2006, the destruction syndrome was established in the United States
bee families. Honey bees (domesticated) left hives and
did not fly back to them. Impact on the total population
honey bees was negligible as it is under
supervision of beekeepers. However, the syndrome pointed to a number of problems,
associated with bee health.

In addition, pesticides and other chemicals
used in agriculture, weaken the immunity of bees, which
makes them more susceptible to disease. And the spread of cities
and a decrease in the number of wild-growing honey plants is forcing bees
go long distances in search of nectar. This
increases the risk of spreading viruses.

That is why it is important now to raise awareness of earthlings about
the invaluable importance of bees, as well as the threats that make them
vulnerable. World Bee Day is a great opportunity that
we have to use.

If we manage to improve the conditions for the survival of bees, then,
hence for human survival. But to save the bees
the attention and participation of entire countries, organizations,
research and educational institutions, civil
society, the private sector, farmers and beekeepers, as well as in
particularity of each individual. You can enter your
contribution to the benefit of bees and other pollinators, such as:

• save old meadows with
  a wide variety of plants and sow honey plants in the meadows;
• mow plants only
  after their flowering;
• use harmless
  pesticides and spray them
  in windless weather early in the morning or late
  in the evening when the bees leave the flowers;
• mulch flowering
  plants in orchards and vineyards before spraying
  pesticides so that they do not attract bees after
  spraying;
• Buy fresh honey from locals
  farmers who maintain sustainable beekeeping practices.

At the global level, strategies need to be developed to
the use of pesticides that do not harm pollinators, and
preserve and improve the natural habitats of bees.

10 things to know about bees

1. There are over 21,000 known species of bees in seven
recognized biological families. They
found on all continents except Antarctica, in each
habitat on a planet that contains blooming
plants pollinated by insects.
5016 species of bees have been recorded in the Neotropics (including 16
fossils), with the largest fauna in Brazil (1678 species).
2755 species of bees out of 9 were found in the Afrotropic9 births
(for 2010).

2. The greatest contribution of bees and other pollinators is the pollination of almost
three quarters of all plants with which we produce 90%
food in the world. One third of world production
food depends on bees, or every third tablespoon
food depends on pollination.

3. Bees are indicators of the state of the environment. Their
presence, absence or abundance tells us when something
happens to the environment and what needs to be accepted
measures. Observing the development and health of bees,
can detect changes in the environment and take timely
necessary protective measures.
