Gazipur, May 20, 2025 — In celebration of World Bee Day 2025, a group of beekeepers, community leaders, and youth gathered in Gazipur to raise awareness about the essential role of bees in sustaining ecosystems and agriculture. The event was organized by the Bangladesh Beekeepers Association as part of a nationwide observance.
Participants wore bright yellow T-shirts symbolizing bees and held a banner displaying the global theme: “Bee Inspired by Nature to Nourish Us All.” The program aimed to engage the local community in discussions on pollinator protection, sustainable farming, and the economic impact of beekeeping.
