Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds play a critical role in crop production, aiding in fruit and seed development. Effective pollinator management involves creating pollinator-friendly habitats by planting diverse flowering species and avoiding pesticide use during peak foraging periods. Providing nesting sites, water sources, and shelter further supports pollinator populations. Integrating beekeeping with farming can enhance pollination efficiency while generating additional income. Educating farmers about pollinator conservation ensures a balanced ecosystem and improved yields. With declining pollinator populations due to habitat loss and climate change, sustainable management practices are essential for global food security and biodiversity preservation.
