Honey production in Pakistan increases by 70%

thanks to the plantation of hundreds of thousands of trees under Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Billion Tree project.

The honey production initiative in Changa Manga was started in 2016 when beehives were auctioned for Rs. 729k.

Now, their value has risen to over Rs. 1.3 million.

before : Locals of the forest describe how ruthless deforestation, as well as reduction in the green cover, significantly reduced the number of beehives as honeybees found little to no place to make hives.

Furthermore, the flowers which honey bees use to collect nectar became toxic due to spray of the pesticides, resulting in the deaths of thousands of bees.
