History
Slovenian Anton Jan Jana, the beekeeping pioneer, was born in 1734 on this day. Beekeeping is so important in Slovenia that the country's unofficial motto is "Land of the Good Beekeepers." The country produces gourmet honey, provides beekeeping tourism, and likes to point out that the Slovenes, the country's richest Slavic nation, derives its work ethic from the honey bee.
In the northern hemisphere, the demand for pollination is highest during that period, and in the southern hemisphere it is a time for harvesting honey and bee products.
On September 15th, 2014, the idea for a World Bee Day was born. Bostjan Noc, the Slovenian beekeeper, was driving to work at The Slovenian Beekeeper's Association, where he is president, was listening to a radio show about World Days and their significance, wondering why beekeepers didn't have their own day. Given that every third spoonful of the world's food is dependent on bees and other pollinators, and that bees and other pollinators are increasingly endangered, and that human intervention and assistance are almost impossible to function without human intervention and assistance, it was only right that the global community be made aware.
