Why are bee numbers dropping in Nepal?

In a remote village about an eight-hour drive from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, farmers risk their lives to harvest wild honey. Himalayan giant bees, also known as Apis laboriosa, build their hives on cliffs and reaching the hives is risky business. Now, extreme weather brought on by climate change and other factors has made the farmers' work even harder.

Pesticides, same reason as everywhere else. Goodbye.
You are the best narrator for this Channel. Very clean English and easy to understand.
Holy cow, those honeycombs are absolutely massive!
These people do not use poverty as an excuse for looting and robbing.

They don't have access to guns cause all the bordering countries have strict gun control. See what happens with poverty in Central America and Africa.

@@voidvector that’s my whole point: people loot or rob because of lack of discipline, ethics and value. Not because of poverty. There are plenty of poor regions around the world where people are peaceful and living in harmony. Africa, Haiti, Sans Francisco, Detroit are exception. You see some pattern here?

@@hippocreation Your discipline, ethics, and value will all go out the window if your neighbor points a gun at your face, or your wife's face, or your parent's face. You are a product of your environment. Those people don't rob each other because they don't have access to guns and their neighbors don't have access to guns. So no one in their environment tries to use gun to "solve problems." Also San Francisco doesn't have a gun problem. It has a housing problem caused by NIMBYs.
The honey bees have been disappearing from Samtse District of Bhutan on the southern foothills of the Himalayas.The main reason is the use of pesticides on the bordering Indian tea gardens of the north Bengal.The reckless use of the Thiodan before tea harvest during the month of June, July and August has been killing thousands of honey bees searching nectar in the tea flowers.
Maybe just… leave the bees alone? 🤔 Didn’t see that one mentioned.

Meat industry causes 15% of global greenhouse emissions. Indian and Nepali people are predominantly vegetarians and vegans. Why don’t the western people think of leaving meat? Why all the time lecture other nations on every topic?

It's supply and demand. More and more people want mad honey which is produce in that region. Those villagers are over harvesting to make a money and not sustain.
When i saw the honey combs with reminded me of the scene in the jungle book when they steal the honey
Cause we're trapped between hills with dirt n dust
They don’t need to do this - we need bees for survival, they could let villagers have a happy life ♥️
The air is toxic and I know I have been there.
That’s sad
why dont they raise their own bee all they do is harvest with zero effort

U fail to understand Nepal is one of the few countries in this world that are extremely prone to natural disasters caused by climate change. Due to rising temperatures, there are hundreds of glacial lakes in our mountainous regions that are on the verge of breaking and causing entire valleys to be submerged underwater. When there are people dying everyday due to climate change induced disasters , who are YOU to try and disregard the fact that climate change is real?
