It's #WorldHoneyBeeDay - so here is a 10 Lire from San Marino 1974. This was an #FAO (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) coin. There are many FAO coins from all different nations to collect (although this is the only one with a bee for today 😀🐝 ) #SanMarino #SaturdayNightCoinShow #Bee #HoneyBee

For #WorldHoneyBeeDay 🐝 here are 2 golden illuminations from a pair of famous early 13th c. English bestiaries:

From Dr. Sheila Colla, a leading expert on native bumblebees:

For #WorldBeewashingDay, I mean #HoneyBeeDay #WorldHoneyBeeDay, I'd like to remind everyone that in North America Honeybees are not native, have been documented competing w/ native bees & spreading diseases. Let's do better than spread misinformation. #SaveWildBees
