FAIZABAD (Pajhwok): Beekeepers in northeastern Badakhshan province are concerned at a low honey yield, seeking assistance from the government.
Honey farmers say fewer seasonal rainfall affected flowers blooming and cut their lifespan, taking a toll on the production of honey.
Mohammad Arif, who has been in this business for 10 years, voiced his concern at the low honey yield. He told Pajhwok Afghan News he had good income from honey sales in the past.
Arif usually moves his 30 crates of bees to different locations in different seasons, but his efforts and expenses did not bring him a satisfactory honey . . .
