Bee colonies play a crucial role in protecting mangrove forests in Giao Minh, Ninh Binh province, by providing honey and connecting locals to their environment. The Xuan Thuy National Park is strictly protected under international conventions, prohibiting any forest exploitation. However, local residents need livelihoods, which Mr. Le Quoc Thanh, director of the National Agricultural Extension Center, addressed by stating, "Beekeeping in mangroves protects the forest." He visited a model beekeeping facility in Giao Minh, highlighting that bees gather nectar without harming trees or engaging in destructive fishing, thus enhancing the forest's biodiversity.
