 The FAO World Bee Day 2025 photo contest is now open, and you are invited to join us in showcasing the beauty and essential contributions of bees and other pollinators to agrifood systems, environmental sustainability, rural livelihoods and cultures. 

With the theme ‘Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all’, the contest will celebrate pollinators through the art of photography, inspiring action to safeguard their future and, in turn, protect our own. 

Join the buzz! 

Submit your best shot and be part of a global movement to raise awareness about these powerful creatures that keep our ecosystems thriving. Don’t miss out—let your photos tell the story of nature’s unsung heroes! 

  • Capture a photograph that embodies the theme “Bee Inspired by Nature to Nourish Us All”. Remember that pollinators go beyond bees and include for example butterflies, birds, bats and mammals. 
  • Complete the online entry form, providing a description of your photo, its significance, and its connection to the theme. 
  • Share your photo on social media platforms using the hashtags #WorldBeeDay and #SaveTheBees
