World Bee Day
Our commitment to bee conservation is brought to life every day through numerous initiatives and partnerships. One day in particular allows us to raise strong and visible awareness of the threats faced by these pollinators: “World Bee Day”.
In 2026, Guerlain highlights Indian women who have chosen to become beekeepers through the Women for Bees program, in partnership with UNESCO. The Maison invited Indian photographer Raajadharshini to document their journey. These photographs showcase the commitment of these beekeepers, who work every day to protect bees.

“WE BELIEVE THIS KNOWLEDGE SHOULD NOT STOP WITH US. WE MUST PASS IT ON TO OUR CHILDREN AND TO OTHER VILLAGE RESIDENTS, SO THAT THIS TRADITION CONTINUES AND IS NEVER LOST. WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE BEES AND DEVELOP THIS ACTIVITY WITH LOVE AND PATIENCE.”
SARITHA, BEEKEEPER IN INDIA
