the festival to a seven-day holiday beginning fromApril 9th to 16th. The word, “Songkran,” which is “samkrānti” in Sanskrit, carries the meaning of “astrological passage”with its
of transformation or change. Viewed as ritual cleansing, the Songkran celebrations have people engagethemselves to water fighting in public. It has thus become
and widespread among Thai and foreign visitors. Theorigin of Songkran Festival can be
back to a Buddhist folk myth concerning harvest and spring. In the city ofSukhavati in Suvvannabhumi, Indra, King of Devas, witnessed the occurrence of corruption in the city where people weresinful for their bad behaviors and they led a life without faith in Dhamma. The king then decided to punish people by havingthem
by lack of water and food. There is even a drought with a hot sun burning people to death.41

However, bee populations have been on the decline worldwide over the years, which hascaptured the attention of scientists, governments, media, and the general public.Several anthropogenic drivers have been associated with declining bee populations, such as disturbances of their naturalhabitats as result of agricultural intensifications and urbanization, climate change, pesticides, and management practices. Bees’habitat loss and fragmentation are considered a major driver of their declines. Besides, climate changes in temperature andrainfall can cause significant alterations in natural habitats, thus reducing their suitability for wild bee populations.Pesticides have received much attention for their potential effects on bees. In a recent study, the research group reviewsimportant agrochemicals with demonstrated deleterious effects on eusocial bees. Using artificial intelligence tools, theresearchers explore how pesticide exposure contributes to declines in populations of honey bees, bumble bees, and stinglessbees. Still, many knowledge gaps remain. Future studies should continue to increase their focus and sophistication whentackling questions concerning the declining bee populations associated with the pesticide contamination.However, little research attention has been given to potential effects of management techniques on bee declines. Notuntil recently, a group of researchers has addressed the importance of improving beekeeping techniques and conservationstrategies to avoid reduction of genetic diversity in both managed and wild honey bees. They conclude that artificial andnatural selection are needed to maintain genetic diversity in honey bees to combat, for example, the bee susceptibility topathogens. However, more research needs to be conducted on potential effects of management techniques on bee declines.It is important to emphasize that scientific efforts alone are not enough. Additional strategies should be encouraged,including improvements of environmental education programs, changes in public awareness about wild bees throughappropriate media coverage, and improvements in dialogue between scientists, industry, stakeholders, and legislators.Only comprehensive approaches, discussed by different societal actors, will result in efficient and long-term strategiesto reduce the decline of wild bee populations.
