Bees are so important to the health of our planet that they have their own special day.

World Bee Day takes place on 20 May each year, and its aim is to spread awareness of the significance of bees.

Bee campaigners also ask people everywhere to do more to help and protect the special insects.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) is urging everyone including governments, private companies, researchers and consumers to take action to help save the popular pollinators.
