Wild bees fly near a beehive as villagers light a fire to create smoke that drives the bees away from their hive, during honey hunting at the cliff near Taap in Lamjung, Nepal, May 29, 2024. Temperatures in the Himalayas, home to the planet's tallest peaks, range higher than an average global increase of 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, United Nations data and independent research show. Global studies show that a temperature rise of even one degree affects the growth of bees, the availability of their food and cross pollination of plants, said Suruchi Bhadwal of India's Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
