The coastal community depends on Sundarbans resources for their livelihood. Many of them harvest honey from the Sundarbans. The bee called Aice Dorseta found in Sundarbans area. These bees are collect honey from the flowers of the Sundarbans and help to maintain the bio diversity. As we know bee are the most important part of the earth. They maintain the re- generation process of the plants. They help to pollinate the flowers when they collect pollen from the flowers.
The earning of the coastal areas people is very low. So when they collect honey from the forest they destroy the whole hives for getting maximum honey. It has a huge negative impact on environment, ecology and biodiversity.
For solving that problem or for their livelihood improvement, we gave training to 15 people on bee keeping. By doing this activity the dependency of the local people on mangrove honey will be reduced.
