Extensive use of pesticides in commercial
agriculture has led to decrease in population of wild bee colonies in Kaski
district, western Nepal. Moreover, deforestation and destruction of entire
colonies during honey harvesting are most responsible factors for the
decimation. As per the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,
the worth of global crops with honeybee’s pollination was estimated to be
nearly 200 USD in 2005.
