Bear terror in beehives, farmers worried

'Take out many shoes to chase away the bear. People stayed awake all night, banging plates, ringing bells, even banging tins," said Budthapa, a beekeeper farmer, "nothing could save the beehive from the bear. The bear could not be chased away nor could the nest be protected . Instead, I had to watch the hives being eaten by bears every day and make my heart sad.'

He was selling millions of honey every year. There was no shortage of grazing land as there was beekeeping near the forest. Budthapa said, "There was a pasture near the forest". It was difficult to save from the bear . During beekeeping near the village, the disease started due to lack of grazing area . No matter what happens to us beekeeping farmers, there is no peace.'

Internal and external beekeepers kept coming to see his beekeeping. The bear is eating bee larvae and honey. Farmers are saying that they eat beehives because they are milky and sweet.

Narayan Chaulagai, Secretary of the Beekeeping Cooperative, said that during the months of August, October and October, bears are terrorizing the beekeeping. He said, 'If a bear gets into a beehive, it will go somewhere else. Otherwise it stays around.'

Bears are destroying beehives in Chaurkhola, Radikhalla and Talium areas of Chandannath Municipality. Bears have been destroying beehives in Lekali area of ​​Kankasundari, Pere of Patarasi, Kolte area of ​​Gutichour. Now the bear is the main enemy of the bee,' said Secretary Chaulagai, 'There is no alternative to watching the bear eat the bees after many attempts to repel the bear have failed.' When people descend homeward . The bear comes near the village and starts eating bees,' he said, An unknown disease killed the bees. Even the bear did not leave . On the contrary, even people have come to be afraid of bears.' There is a banter of banging plates, lighting of solar lights. But the terror of the bear is not diminishing . In recent times, farmers are trying to drive away the bear even by cutting the leaves. But don't regret it . Hakahan's bee hive will be eaten .

Every year, 15 percent of the total number of beehives is eaten by beekeeping cooperatives. 'When people sleep . At that time, the bear comes to eat the nest,' said Secretary Chaulagai . Farmers have demanded the government to give a way to drive away bears.

Bears and diseases started killing bees, farmers reached the agricultural development office to determine the rate of bees. Because the government has arranged to insure bees with 75 percent subsidy. Farmers are taking the services of bee insurance in other districts.

Chaulagai, who is also a beekeeping farmer, said, "We went to Shikhar Insurance for the first time to insure bees. The company sought the rate of bees . We returned empty-handed as we did not have rates. '

Last June, the farmers complained that they did not pay attention to the application to the Agricultural Development Office to set the rate including the price of bees. If there was a rate, we would have taken the insurance . Bear and disease would have claimed the damage from the insurance. But if the rate is not fixed, even those who live by keeping bees should be discouraged, he said.
