They collect honey, Nipa leaf, wood, fish, and shrimp fry from the Sundarbans. Their dependency and harvest the forest resource damage the forest and makes barrier for the natural re generation process. By introducing different type of livelihood approach to them, their dependency on Sundarbans can be minimized. Bee keeping can be one of that new livelihood approach.
