Fragile Balance: Interplay of Deforestation and Climate Change on Honeybee Population in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Abstract

The study investigates the connection between climate change, deforestation, and diminishing honeybee populations in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The study emphasizes how deforestation contributes to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing global warming. This affects honeybees and their capacity to pollinate crops by disrupting weather patterns and habitats. The study focuses on the socio-economic impact on communities that rely on honey production and agricultural pollination. To solve these issues, the article suggests sustainable forest management, afforestation, and advanced beekeeping practices. It also emphasizes the significance of creating knowledge about the function of honeybees and maintaining forests for Biodiversity and sustainable lifestyles.
