The United Nations chose May 20 for World Bee Day in honor of the birthday of Anton Janša, a pioneer of modern beekeeping. The day celebrates bees and the work pollinators do for flowering plants.
A bumblebee visiting a tomato flower can grip it and vibrate its flight muscles to shake loose pollen. It’s called buzz pollination. If you’re near a flowering tomato plant, pause and listen for the brief buzz that goes with the bee’s visit.
