Abstract

Beekeeping is emerging as a very successful, beneficial and profitable agricultural practice for local societies in Asian countries. This practice is not only related to beekeeping, but have intrinsic health benefits and importance through providing better food source with great nutritional value which is lacking in local or developed areas, beekeeping is also very important for various plant pollination and bees use pollen for their normal life. In rural areas there is almost an unlimited source of pollen and bees are having ability to pollinate natural local crops. In this regards honey bees are the most major pollinators of the cultivated crops in the world. If environmental temperature or climate changes could occur, that is significantly affecting honey bees biology, behavior, distribution and its production. But indirectly climate change or stream is natural enemy of local floral resources. Aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of climate changes on honey bee productions in Jalalabad surrounding areas. This study was completed from the surveys and inspection to identify the main climate change problems and its impact on honey bee’s production. This study was focused on the emerging view that climate changes had effected reducing of feed (reduction of flowers), facilitate less area for rearing of bees, reactions of the people against bee farms, pest, diseases and also climate change can effect physiology and behavior of the bees, decrease pollination rate and affects the production and size of the colonies. The beekeepers should have awareness from the weather conditions and must be emerge their farms to safe and floral resources areas.
