Nepal is a country with highly diverse agro ecological zones, ranging from terai plains to mid hills and high mountains that provide suitable habitat for diverse pollinator species including wild honey bees. Wild honey bees are species that nest in the wild. Wild honey bees of Nepal honey-5represent some of the earth’s last remaining honey bee populations that have not been affected by exotic diseases and predators . Unlike the European honey bee used for domestic honey production, these honey bees are able to tolerate seasonal low temperatures. Despite the lower production in comparison to commercial European honey bee species, large quantity of honey and beeswax (about 70% in Nepal) are produced from indigenous honey bees (mainly Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa)
