An insight into the global decrement of honey bee population: causes and its imposing effects

Abstract:- During the past few decades, world have seen a record breaking increase in the number of human population. The huge burst of the population size and the consequent implications of anthropogenic activities have aroused number of unprecedented phenomena. Climate change, severe air pollution, land degradation, deforestation, shortage of drinking water and significant loss of bio diversity are some of the crucial outcomes of it. One such detrimental effect of these amalgamated factors has been expressed in the sheer loss of honeybee population in today’s world. The decrease in their habitat, lifespan or species diversity have been observed globally during the last few decades. The gradual decline in number of bee is affecting the natural flow of ecosystem and severely impact the production of important crops all over the world. As a principal facilitator of pollination, the loss of bee population will cause worldwide decline of food production which can lead to global catastrophe. In this situation the present article has tried to understand the present scenario of honeybee population dynamics, their principal cause of decline, implications and possible measures that can save bee diversity.
