I am Impressed and interested to learn the course and implement in our rural area who can help me in this, by providing any contact no'r of the person to reach and discuss and get trained on this Busy bee's...
It seems that for a farmer, keeping bees would be quite profitable even without selling any honey, because of increased yields. For this purpose, research should be done on various Indian bees, in addition to the commercial European honeybee. Maybe several farmers could be persuaded to share the cost and effort of maintaining hives, just for improving their yields.
If what is said above is true, then the government should voluntarily help the farmers to keep bee farming along with their agricultural production. It is for the government to act now. One leader can show the way but some strong backing is necessary to really achieve the result. The farmers need not commit suicide, if they are going to get additional income how less it may be.
There is so much each one of us can do for the environment but the daily rut keeps us away from trying anything..i am waiting for my retirement to take up something constructive
