The National Highways Authority of India has launched a first-of-its-kind Bee Corridor initiative to develop pollinator-friendly green stretches along National Highways. The project focuses on planting native, nectar- and pollen-rich species to ensure year-round food and habitat for honeybees and other pollinators. By addressing pollinator decline caused by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, the initiative aims to strengthen agricultural productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. It also represents a shift towards nature-based, climate-resilient infrastructure, integrating ecological conservation with highway development and promoting sustainable growth.
