World Bee Day 2021’s theme is Bee engaged - Build Back Better for Bees, which focuses on finding ways to restore, support and enhance the role of pollinators. Pollination is a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems and it is, therefore, crucial to monitor pollinators decline and halt the loss of biodiversity.
