Telangana Bee Hub Promotes Beekeeping for Sustainable Rural Prosperity
The Telangana Bee Hub Society teaches people how to keep bees safely and scientifically.
It began in 2021 and is led by K. Indira Reddy.
The group works with farmers, women’s groups, young people, prison inmates, and CRPF personnel.
Bees provide honey, but they also help flowers turn into fruits and vegetables through pollination.
The Society moves bee colonies to places where different crops are flowering.
This helps produce different kinds of honey and supports farms.
People can also earn money from products such as beeswax, pollen, royal jelly, and bee venom.
The Society’s goal is to make beekeeping a sustainable business and improve rural livelihoods.
Founded in 2021, the Telangana Bee Hub Society promotes scientific beekeeping across rural Telangana.
Director K. Indira Reddy leads training for farmers, youth, CRPF personnel, prison inmates, FPOs, and SHGs.
The Society provides commercial pollination services for crops including pomegranate, mustard, onion, and vegetables.
Migratory beekeeping supports crop-specific honey production while contributing to pollination and biodiversity.
Honey, pollen, beeswax, royal jelly, and bee venom are developed into diversified income opportunities.
