President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah says World Bee Day must serve as an opportunity to educate people, especially the youth, on the importance of bees and the growing opportunities within sustainable beekeeping. 

The Managing Director of the Beekeeping Association of Namibia said Namibia's beekeeping industry is under threat.

Gretchen Burmeister warned that the importation of live bees could put the country's food security and biodiversity at risk.
