Albert Einstein apparently once said, "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left". Bees spend a significant part of their life collecting pollen and thus make excellent pollinators, which can help in improving yields.
For now, we are installing a few honeybee boxes in our farm. The bee-species that we are currently focusing on is Apis Mellifera, which is one of the most common domesticated bee-species in India. We will be closely monitoring if the floral sources in and around our farm is able to support multiple bee colonies.
We will be focusing on the following as a way to scale our beekeeping effort:
1) We will be working on increasing the density of floral sources in our farm.
2) We will be enhancing our understanding of beekeeping, including commercial viability.
3) We may explore the native bee species, which is Apis Cerana.Indica.
