WATCH: Climate change makes beekeeping bittersweet
Magda Miloseska used to feel the sweet hum of joy while tending her hives. Now, the seasoned North Macedonian beekeeper battles unpredictable weather and disease outbreaks threatening her 20-year passion. 🌦️
In Stence village, where mountains cradle sun-drenched valleys, temperatures recently hit 30°C in June – 3°C above average. \"Older beekeepers harvested 30-50kg per hive,\" says Miloseska. \"Now? It\'s drastically less.\"
The stakes are high: honey prices have skyrocketed over 50% in three years. With hives struggling and blooms appearing off-schedule, Miloseska worries: \"We\'re fighting climate conditions daily.\" 🍯💔
As pollinators decline globally, North Macedonia\'s story serves as a warning buzz – proving even nature\'s sweetest miracles aren\'t immune to our warming world. 🌍🔬
