Every year on May 20th, we celebrate World Bee Day — a special occasion that honors one of the most essential and hardworking creatures in nature: the bee. These tiny pollinators play an enormous role in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems and ensuring the future of our food supply. Without them, life as we know it would simply not be the same.
At Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort, sustainability and environmental responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why this year, we’re proud to mark World Bee Day by offering you a small, heartfelt gift:
🍯 A jar of pure, local Cretan honey, waiting for you in your room.
This sweet gesture is more than a treat — it’s a tribute to the bees and their tireless work, and a way for us to share a taste of Crete’s natural richness with you.
Our honey comes from dedicated local beekeepers, where wild herbs, flowers, and a clean environment offer the perfect conditions for producing some of the finest honey in Greece. It is 100% natural, unprocessed, and infused with the unique aromas of thyme, pine, and wildflowers — the true essence of the Cretan land.
🐝 Why Are Bees So Important?
Bees are responsible for the pollination of over 75% of the world’s food crops, from fruits and vegetables to nuts and coffee. Their role is vital in producing the food we eat, sustaining plant biodiversity, and supporting healthy ecosystems.
However, bee populations across the globe are in serious decline, threatened by factors such as:
- Climate change
- Pesticide use
- Habitat destruction
- Pollution
If we lose our bees, we risk losing not only many of our favorite foods, but also the health of our natural world.
🌱 What Are We Doing at Fodele Beach?
As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, we take conscious steps to protect pollinators and promote sustainability, including:
- Supporting local, eco-conscious beekeepers and selecting honey from farms that respect natural processes.
- Promoting awareness among our staff and guests about the importance of bees and biodiversity.
We believe that every small action counts — and that together, we can build a better, more balanced future for our planet.
