Since 2018, the United Nations has designated 20 May as World Bee Day to highlight the importance of beekeeping and the long standing, ever evolving relationship between humans and bees. The date is no coincidence: it marks the birthday of Anton Janša, a pioneer of modern apiculture. In Hungary, the Day of the Bees has been observed on 30 April since 1994 at the initiative of the National Hungarian Beekeeping Association, as this is the time when life in the hive begins to intensify. Bees are valuable not only for honey production; their pollination activity significantly influences the success of fruit cultivation.
