As countries go into vast lockdowns, the movement of non-essential vehicles has come to a halt. Therefore, bee farmers found it difficult to move their bee boxes from one place to another, both cross-country and internationally. The movement resulted in bees starving to death, reducing bee pollination and propolis production. Moreover, the availability of limited labor power additionally impacted the production of end products, negatively impacting the propolis market.
