Prakruthi Mithra at Chundale is encouraging people in Bee keeping. We distributed Bee boxes with hives to six families. Each Family receiving two sets of beehives. During this harvest season each family has harvested 8 Kg of Honey. We are reaping on this success story. The major part of the food we consume is a result of the contribution made by these tiny insects. Bees need plants that bear flowers and the plants need the bees for their own survival – pollination. If bees disappear from the face of the earth, thousands of different kinds of plants and trees disappear and consequently no production of food and hunger will prevail. We at Prakruthi Mithra are trying to promote this plant-bee collaboration for the sustenance of the world. We have an ambitious plan of distributing 25 bee hives (the smallest variety of bees, honey from these bees has special medicinal properties and is an integral ingredient for most of Ayurveda medicines). Each bee hive will be costing Rs. 2500.00. We will also conduct training programmes. – Br Davis ofm
