What Influences Mosquito Activity in Bekaa Kafra?

Several factors contribute to mosquito activity in Bekaa Kafra. The village's higher altitude (around 1,500 meters) means cooler temperatures, which can slow mosquito development compared to coastal areas. However, the presence of water sources like mountain streams and the nearby Qadisha Valley creates ideal breeding grounds. Key influences include:

Temperature fluctuations
Rainfall patterns
Local vegetation density

Moreover, the traditional terraced farming around Bekaa Kafra can collect rainwater, inadvertently supporting mosquito larvae. Understanding these factors helps locals and visitors take preventive measures effectively. For more on local ecology, visit the Qadisha Valley Conservation site.
