Angelina Jolie, a well-known advocate for bee preservation, organized a special class in Yucatan, Mexico for school children to learn about the endangered Melipona bee. This event was held in honor of World Bee Day and photographs from May 22 show the Hollywood star dressed in a simple white dress, enthusiastically teaching the students about this non-venomous breed of bee. Utilizing captivating visuals, Angelina adeptly led the class and answered their questions. The students from a public school in the Yucatan peninsula actively participated, making the session both educational and engaging.
In 2021, UNESCO launched an initiative called Women for Bees that aimed to train and empower women beekeepers around the world. Angelina Jolie was chosen as its ambassador, adding yet another feather to her cap as a Guerlain Bee ambassador. She has been actively participating in various bee conservation campaigns, including the Bee school program, which educates students worldwide about the crucial role bees play in our ecosystem. Her travels to France, Cambodia, and Mexico allowed her to witness firsthand the importance of bees. She has shared her experiences and pictures, drawing attention to the plight of these crucial creatures.
Angelina Jolie is expanding her interests beyond acting by engaging in a variety of different projects.
