Pakistan's once-thriving beekeeping industry is facing serious challenges as climate change and pollution lead to a significant decline in honey production. The number of honey varieties has reduced from 22 to 11 due to shorter flowering seasons exacerbated by hazardous smog and changing weather patterns. Beekeepers are forced to travel increasingly longer distances and move more frequently to find suitable conditions for their bees, risking not only honey production but overall food security, given that a third of global food relies on bee pollination.
Pakistan's beekeepers, facing unpredictable weather and pollution, are struggling to keep honey production viable, with varieties declining from 22 to 11 due to climate change impacts.
The decline in honey production in Pakistan reflects global challenges with beekeeping; adverse weather and pollution are putting pressure on the survival of beekeeping and agriculture.
