World Honey Bee Day

These little creatures are nature's buzzworthy superstars! They're responsible for pollinating a third of our food supply and creating delicious honey.

We often take nature for granted. We don’t think about the pivotal role that all of life’s creatures play. However, World Honey Bee Day gives you the perfect opportunity to pay honor to the incredible honey bee. Read on to discover everything you need to know about this day, as well as the critical role that honey bees play in our everyday lives.

Learn about World Honey Bee Day

World Honey Bee Day is an awareness day whereby honey bee enthusiasts, beekeeping associations and clubs, and beekeepers celebrate the honey bee. It is a day to recognize the contribution that honey bees make to our everyday lives, as well as learning about the different steps that we can take in order to protect this vital species. On World Honey Bee Day, we also pay homage to beekeepers. After all, it is their efforts that make sure that there are healthy and well-managed bees to pollinate crops.

The health benefits of honey

Of course, honey bees provide us with honey, and this is one of the many reasons why we should be thankful for them! Honey is a golden, thick liquid, which is produced by bees using the nectar of plants that are flowering. The kind of flowers that bees visit will impact the texture, smell, and taste of the honey, resulting in different types of honey, including orange blossom, clover, acacia, and manuka honey.

There are a lot of nutritional benefits that are associated with adding a bit of honey to your diet. High-quality honey offers a number of benefits because of the antioxidants that are included. These include phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, as well as organic acids. The antioxidants that are found in honey have been linked to lowering the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and some forms of cancer. They are also believed to assist in terms of eye health.

There have also been studies that have shown that honey can help to improve your cholesterol levels. If you have high LDL cholesterol levels, then you are going to be at a greater risk of having heart disease. This sort of cholesterol plays a massive role in atherosclerosis, which is the fatty buildup in your arteries that can cause strokes and heart attacks as well. There are more and more studies that are showing that honey can help to enhance your cholesterol levels. This is because it significantly raises the good HDL cholesterol while lowering the total of bad LDL cholesterol.

Honey cannot only benefit you in terms of consuming it, but it has been used for many years as a topical treatment for healing burns and wounds. In fact, this can be dated back to Ancient Egypt. Researchers have concluded that the healing powers of honey come from the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects it has, as well as its ability to nourish the tissue that surrounds the wounded area.

Bees are disappearing

Bees are critical to our daily living, yet they are in decline on a worldwide scale. This is because they face a number of different threats. The use of toxic pesticides is one of these threats. They are also at risk due to habitat loss, as there has been an increase in invasive farming methods and urban developments, meaning that places that honey bees used to call home do not exist anymore. In honor of World Honey Bee Day, it is good to do your bit in order to raise awareness regarding the risks that honey bees all around the world face and the steps that we can take in order to help them. You can begin by researching this issue so that you can find more information about the different challenges that bees face and the reasons why their population is on the decline. By doing this, you will then be able to educate others and we can all do our bit to make sure that the number of bees starts to increase again, rather than decline.

History of World Honey Bee Day

World Honey Bee Day, previously known as Honey Bee Awareness Day, is an idea put together by beekeepers in the USA, who petitioned the USDA in 2009 for an official day to honor honey bees and beekeeping. A few years down the line, people across the globe are holding a date of observation every year.

The organizers of the event, on the concept of the World Honey Bee Day, have said:

Bring together beekeepers, bee associations, as well as other interested groups to connect with the communities to advance beekeeping. By working together and harnessing the efforts that so many already accomplish, and [by] using a united effort one day a year, the rewards and message is magnified many times over. We encourage bee associations, individuals, and other groups to get involved. The program is free and open to all.

How to celebrate World Honey Bee Day

Honey Bee awareness enthusiasts will likely put a bee in your bonnet and say this is not so much a day to celebrate honey bees, as it is to promote their involvement in sustainable farming.

On this day, bee lovers everywhere decorate their gardens with lavender, borage, and marjoram, the bee’s knees in pollinator lures. If you have the time and patience, bake some honey chippers and make your own honey fruit cobbler.

We also recommend that you take the time to learn more about the honey bee on this day and how we can all do our bit in order to provide them with a supportive environment. When we plant orchards, wildflowers, and other types of flowering plants, we are supporting pollinators, which includes honey bees. Honey bees depend on the nectar of different plants in order to survive. We also need to recognize that we depend on honey bees for our own survival. After all, if they did not pollinate, a lot of the nutritious plants that we need would not reproduce. It’s all about the circle of life, and we should do our bit to help other specious along the way.

Another way to celebrate World Honey Bee Day is by enjoying a honey-based treat. There are lots of different options for you to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a tasty dessert or you want to incorporate honey into your main meal, we have got you covered. Here are some tasty suggestions to consider: honey-roast confit of duck, honey cake, vanilla and honey madeleines, stir-fried pork with honey and ginger, salted honey fudge and chocolate tart, honey mustard grilled salmon, homemade crumpets with burnt honey butter, and crispy honey buffalo wings. Is your mouth watering yet?

And because you’ve been as busy as a bee all day, sit back and watch Hitchcock’s ‘The Bees’. You’ll count your blessings honey bees are nothing like South American killer bees!

Reglerna för sponsring duger inte

Reglerna för sponsring duger inte!

Under flera år har det varit uppenbart att sponsringen i Sverige inte är jämställd. En oproportionerlig andel går till herridrott framför damidrott. Orsakerna till detta är flera. Elitidrott för herrar har ett stort försprång framför Elitidrott för damer, både gällande åskådare och sportsligt. Här behöver fler företag ta sitt ansvar och sponsra jämställt, tycker jag. Dock är en stor del av…

idk if you answered this already or not but how did you become a fan of alexia? what are some of your favorite qualities about her?

oh wow, where to begin with this question! i don't want to give you a whole thesis, so i'll try and summarize my thoughts 😅

i first "officially" saw alexia play during the 2015 women's world cup, but i didn't become a fan until later. i really liked jenni hermoso when she played at tyresö and then by casually following jenni when she went back to spain was what put me on alexia. i didn't really seriously follow the barça women's team until the lead up to the women's world cup in 2019 and i was super impressed by spain when they gave uswnt a tough fight. i started getting more into liga f and the rest is history.

2019 was really the turning point for them and i always say that to see barça before then and to see them now, it's like night and day and you can really see what happens when a powerful brand like fc barcelona invests in its women's side.

there are so many things that i like about alexia: her style of play is so beautiful to watch. there are so many touches and creative flicks and passes. it's that creativity mixed with the playmaking and the high football IQ that makes her so good. and in the last few years, it's been her leadership and how was really is trying to move the bar and improve conditions for the league and spanish national team. she doesn't say a lot, but when she does it speaks volumes. the fact that alexia is easy on the eyes and so marketable is bonus. she's just a great footballer!

Just sitting on my couch thinking about how insane it is that Christen Press almost gave up soccer when the WPS folded and then in her second season in Sweden she joined Tyresö FF where she played with MARTA and JENNI HERMOSO Life is truly wild

Besides for Tyresö, Germany was super team I mean they were the queens of Europe for such a long time and were really the only team for a while that could compete with the US

Simp4panos: "I mean Germany won every euro from ‘95 to ‘13"

They're a phenomenal team! I'm really excited to see the world cup this year. I think the US is going to get humbled a little and I for one am ready for it.

World Bee Day 

Support bee conservation by donating or purchasing from companies that work to save these crucial members of the ecosystem, or start your own bee hive.

Lately, the concerns about bees being endangered have become widely noted among people all over the world, but information on how to take action about it has become scarce in this age.

That’s why World Bee Day exists to educate people about the importance of bees and how they can help preserve them for the sake of the future. If you want to help save these fuzzy insects from extinction, then read down below to find out what World Bee Day is about!

History of World Bee Day

World Bee Day corresponds with an important influencer in the pioneering of beekeeping. Anton Janša, who in the 18th century pioneered modern beekeeping techniques in his native Slovenia, was one of the first people to help bring about the importance of bees in the world environment.

Since then, beekeeping has become a vital necessity in the world’s ecosystems and economic systems. However, not many people realize the importance of bees or know how to help save the bees, which led to the announcement of World Bee Day through the United Nations.

The United Nations designated World Bee Day to raise awareness of the importance of bees. Bees are under a continuous threat from human activity, which includes the introduction of invasive insects, pesticides, land-use change, and monocropping practices, which have continuously been destroying bee colonies over time.

World Bee Day helps educate people about the importance of bees and what they do for the environment, which includes how they help grow 90% of the world’s wildflower plants, 35% of the world’s crops depend on bees to grow, and how they help build ecosystems all over the world. With these statistics, the United Nations has created various programs all over the world to increase awareness of protecting bees and what you can do to help this cause.

This day is also open to other pollinators as well as bees, like bats, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Together these essential animals help keep ecosystems healthy and maintain biodiversity. Bees and other creatures also help us fight problems on a global level, like world hunger and helping to adapt to climate change. These fantastic fuzzy creatures help keep our plants and our planet alive.

If you look at bees as creatures, they are a fascinating insect even without all the services they provide for us. For instance, the phrase bee’s knees makes absolutely no sense, because bees actually don’t have knees. Bees also communicate by dancing – can you imagine if humans didn’t talk and only communicated via the medium of dance? If you consider honey as well, it has also been used as an antiseptic and treatment for burns and wounds for centuries.

Bees have been around for thousands of years, and the very first bee found was 100 million years old! Bees might also have been the very first species to decide to go vegetarian. Originally, our fuzzy friends used to eat other insects, but they evolved to eat nectar and pollen instead. Bees have long supported us, humans with honey being a monumental discovery for our ancestors (it must have been tough for them to gather!).

From sweetening food to dressing wounds, we loved honey so much that our children are still named after bees. Names like Melissa and Ali mean bee in Greek and Urdu, showing that across the world, we share a global appreciation for bees.

World Bee Day Timeline

13000-8000 BC People get honey from wild bees

Enjoying the sought after sweetness of honey and usefulness of wax, people climb ladders to reach the nests of wild bees.

200 AD Bee hives in Ancient Egypt

With bees that may have been more aggressive, beekeepers approach the hives with shaven heads to prevent the bees from reacting to the perfumed oils used in the hair.

1621 Beehives are sent to the colonies

To help the people of the colonies survive, supplies that include beehives are sent on ships from London to Virginia.

2006 Colony Collapse Disorder is first reported

Beekeepers begin reporting high losses where adult bees literally just disappear from the hive, leaving the queen and immature bees inadequately attended to.

2008 The Secret Life of Bees film is released

Based on a book of the same name by Sue Monk Kidd and set in the 1960s southern US, this movie stars Dakota Fanning as a young girl who runs away in search of her mother.

How to Celebrate World Bee Day

If you want to do more, find a charity that helps towards bee conservation, and donate through there. Many bee charities offer their own merchandise, which goes directly back into their profits, like bee jewelry or clothing.

Why not purchase your own Bee Tee or give your loved ones a unique bee necklace to share the love? Many bee charities also arrange their own events, awareness campaigns, and particular ways of donating, so why not support a charity near you to show support for our buzzing buddies.

Start a garden and place with a full arrangement of fruits, vegetables, and flowers that you know bees would like. Only have limited space? If you have a balcony or terrace, you can buy nectar-bearing flowers and pot them in your available area for both decorative and bee-saving purposes.

Plants like sunflowers, poppy, and our much-loved food favorites like thyme, dill, and fennel are perfect for pollinators. You can even create a pollination station for bees in your garden or outdoor space to benefit from. Make a friendly environment for bees, butterflies, and any local pollinators to help their habitats.

Looking to be more proactive about how you purchase your food? Go to a local beekeeper and buy honey from them. You could go for honey and many other hive products. Talking to a local beekeeper will also help you find suitable ways to keep your garden or outdoor space a bee-friendly environment.

Avoiding harmful pesticides will keep pollinators happy, and if you have to spray anything, doing so in the morning or late at night will ensure that your bees don’t get caught in the crossfire. If you’re lucky enough to have a larger outdoor space that’s filled with wildflowers, keeping part of it preserved will mean that your bees have the perfect natural environment to enjoy.

If you’re looking for a way to help raise awareness of bee endangerment, then share and spread the news about World Bee Day through social media.

are the Americans forgetting about the continued success of the German women's team and the Frauen-Bundesliga. Like they clearly arent aware of the power that used to have, there's a reason why people joke about all the people Lisa Evans knows and it's because so many of these huge players went through the ranks at places like potsdam and bayern

Lol yeah. There are a couple teams who like every player in woso seems to have played for. You look them up and you're like, YOU AS WELL??? Tyresö is another one of those.

We swedes have a special bond to Marta after the many years she spent in our league first with Umeå, then with Tyresö and Rosengård. The story of how she was discovered in the world cup 2003 and tracked down in Brazil by Umeå has been told by both sides many times. It's a fascinating one.

Here's a coverage with a 18 year old Marta some time after she'd arrived to Sweden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5gfZuitR80

omg look how young she is

Do you really not care about your opponents when a league gold is at stake?

One match remains in the league and we are the team that is currently closest to a gold, with Arsenal notch in the heel who have two matches left to play. The last match we play against the talented Manchester United at home on Sunday. A match that will be a real nail-biter if Arsenal wins their match on Wednesday and leaves the final round to the decisive round.

Right now I just feel like I want to play the last match now. Sure, it's fine with a week of preparation, but as fine as it is, I want the answer now. Are we taking home the gold? I can not wait.

My former coach at FC Rosengård, Jonas Eidevall (current coach of Arsenal) is a quote machine. I clearly remember a quote from him when we and Tyresö fought for the gold. "I care more about the expiration date on the milk in the fridge than how Tyresö plays". Something like that. Haha, still one of the sharpest quotes I think. A few days ago I heard that Jonas had commented on our result, that he did not look at our win against Tottenham last time and that they focus on their own results. Of course, we all know our own achievements and results best, but I'm pretty sure we do not leave our opponents completely.

It's part of the title race I love. The fight, the heat, the competition. We want to win at all costs, but we also know that our opponents are close behind. It creates tension and at times nervousness. It creates the strongest emotions. Yesterday Arsenal also played, a few hours earlier than us. I kept a close eye on their match, at least the first twenty before they had punctured the match with their first two goals. Then I released it and full focus was on my own performance.

It's okay to look at your opponents and keep your fingers crossed that the results go your own way. The competition spurs us on, if we take it the right way. I am convinced that at this level we are skilled and professional enough to switch to focusing on our own when it comes to.

The world's worst picture, but a little insight into how we celebrate winnings on the bus on the way home. Throw the Pig game. Zoom in to find the pigs, haha. Zećira Musovic
