20 May is officially recognised by the United Nations as World Bee Day. It aims to recognise the importance of preserving honey bees and other pollinators in the ecosystem.

In commemorating this special day, there was a significant buzz at the Parliament House on 19 May 2019 as embassies and beekeeper associations participated in exhibiting information on bees and showcasing various types of honey to the public. The High Commission, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture showcased our own national honey of Tualang and Kelulut. Members of the public who tasted the expressed a preference for the Kelulut, which they found to be flavoursome.

The event provided an opportunity for governments, organisations, civil society and concerned citizens to promote action to protect and enhance pollinators and their habitats, improve their abundance and diversity, and support the sustainable development of beekeeping.
