- MUMBAI — On World Bee Day, actor and environmental advocate Dia Mirza took
to social media to urge everyone to recognize the critical role bees play in
sustaining life on Earth.
-
- Highlighting the alarming fact that 1 in 4 wild bee
species is threatened with extinction, Dia reminded that over 75% of crops
depend on pollination—and without bees, our ecosystems and food supplies are in
grave danger. The actress chose to spotlight the Red Dwarf Bee of North West
India, a tiny but mighty pollinator whose population is rapidly declining.
Calling on citizens to #BringTheBuzzBack, Dia offered simple, actionable steps
to support bee populations—like planting native flowers, avoiding pesticides,
and supporting local beekeepers.

- Sharing her video, the ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’
actress wrote, “A world without bees is a silent one” Did you know that 1 in 4
wild bee species are threatened with extinction? This World Bee Day, I’m
shining a light on a tiny hero—the Red Dwarf Bee of North West India. Small in
size, but enormous in impact, this beautiful little pollinator plays a vital
role in keeping our ecosystems alive and thriving. Sadly, its numbers are
declining fast. Over 75% of crops depend on pollination, yet habitat loss,
pesticide use, and rising temperatures are silencing nature’s most powerful
workers. But hope is not lost. Each of us can help. Let’s #BringTheBuzzBack—one
plant, one patch, one choice at a time.”

- Dia Mirza added, “Plant native flowers on your balcony,
terrace or garden. Say no to pesticides. Support local beekeepers and organic
farmers. Even a single square meter of bee-friendly plants can make a
difference. Let’s create spaces where bees can thrive. Let’s build a world
where their song never fades. Join the movement at beewild.org and follow
@beewild.campaign to take action. Bees are not just pollinators, they are poets
of the planet. Let’s listen, protect, and act #ForNature #ForPeopleForPlanet
#WorldBeeDay #BeeTheChange #BeatPollution #SDGs #GlobalGoals.”

- World Bee Day is observed on May 20 each year. The date
marks the baptism of Anton Janša in 1734, a trailblazer in modern beekeeping.
This global observance aims to highlight the vital importance of bees and other
pollinators in sustaining healthy ecosystems and supporting biodiversity.
