HAPPY WORLD BEE DAY!
A TRIBUTE TO ANTON JANŠA
On 20 December 2017, following three years of efforts at the international level, the UN Member States unanimously approved a proposal by Slovenia to proclaim 20 May as World Bee Day.
20 May is also the birth date of Anton Janša, a Slovenian beekeeper, a pioneer of modern beekeeping and one of the greatest authorities on the subject of bees.
To celebrate World Bee Day 2021, we are posting a brief essay on Janša, an icon of beekeeping.
