Product Description

Worldwide people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of insects such as bees. The month of May is a beautiful spring month, everything blooms and the bees, especially, are very busy. Beekeeping is a centuries-old tradition in Slovenia. To date, there are more than 10,000 beekeepers! The Krainer Bee is a familiar bee that is found especially in Slovenia. Because bees are very important to life on earth, Slovenia has made an extra effort for the bees and the United Nations has declared the date May 20 as World Bee Day. A whopping 115 countries approved this on 20 December 2017 and the date 20 May will be æWorld Bee DayÆ from the year 2018. To celebrate this, Slovenia has issued a special 2 Euro coin. On the face of this coloured 2 Euro coin a honeycomb in the form of a coloured globe is depicted where the Eastern Hemisphere is shown. The land is coloured in the colour of Honey and the water is coloured blue. At the top left of the coin the Slovenian text SVETONI DAN CEBEL (World Bee Day) is colour ed red. On the bottom right of the coin, the country name SLOVENIJA (Slovenia) together with the year 2018 are coloured blue. In the outer ring of the coin are the 12 stars of Europe.
