Lalitpur - Marking World Bee Day 2026, the Food and Agriculture community in Nepal brought together beekeepers, cooperatives, enterprises, development partners, and United Nations colleagues under the global theme “Bee Together for People and the Planet - A Partnership that Sustains Us All.” The celebration emphasized the indispensable contribution of bees and other pollinators to food security, biodiversity conservation, sustainable livelihoods, and resilient agrifood systems.
The event served as a platform to promote awareness and encourage stronger support for local beekeeping communities in Nepal. Through activities including honey tasting, exhibitions of local bee products, knowledge exchange sessions, and dialogue among stakeholders, participants showcased the diversity and value of Nepali honey while underlining the importance of pollinator-friendly agricultural practices.
Bees play a critical role in pollinating crops and sustaining ecosystems, directly contributing to agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. Experts continue to warn that habitat loss, climate change, and unsustainable farming practices pose growing threats to pollinator populations worldwide. Strengthening local beekeeping initiatives and promoting environmentally responsible food systems remain essential steps toward long-term sustainability.
The observance of World Bee Day also reflected a broader commitment to protecting pollinators as a foundation for healthier ecosystems, stronger local economies, and a more resilient future for people and the planet.
