World Bee Day 2026 🐝

Protecting bees and other pollinators is essential for sustainable agriculture, healthy ecosystems and biodiversity conservation. Bees and people share a partnership that sustains life, livelihoods and our environment.

As custodians of our forests, we recognise the critical role bees play in securing a sustainable future for generations to come.

This year’s theme, “Bee Together for People and the Planet, A partnership that sustains us all,” celebrates the long-standing relationship between humans and bees, and the importance of working together to protect our planet.

🌿🐝 Day 2 – Chirinda Farmers Beekeeping Training

Today’s session focused on site selection for apiaries, hive management, honey harvesting, and packaging. The training was highly interactive, combining both theory and practical demonstrations.

Farmers visited the Changonda women’s group apiary near Ngungunya Forest, where the group proudly manages thirty hives. Facilitators conducted a practical hive inspection — a critical skill in successful beekeeping.

We applaud the invaluable support from Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Forestry Commission Zimbabwe in strengthening community knowledge and empowering local farmers through this initiative. Together, we are building sustainable livelihoods and protecting our environment. 🌍✨
