About
Arju Alam (35), a beekeeper from Lamkan village in Bhangura upazila, Pabna, started his bee farm in 2010 with 15 boxes. A decade and a half later the farm has 200 boxes. Each season, from late October to the first week of April, he moves the boxes to different parts of the country and sets up camp to collect honey, checking the bees, the queen and the stored honey every morning. Honey sales support his family of five. In the 2025 litchi season he set up at Jorkali in Birol upazila, Dinajpur, on 20 March; he says the orchard owner sprayed pesticide on the litchi trees three days later and the bees died. By his count, 1,500 boxes there should have yielded 20–22 tonnes of honey, but only 2–2.5 tonnes were collected. Ten people, including workers, had come to the site.
