WHISPERS FROM THE HIVE
Dr Sonali Bali
I attended the Bee workshop on 23.8.2026 in Sunder Nursery, conducted by Mr Rakesh from the Golden Hive Foundation in collaboration with Government Sunder Nursery Management Trust.
It was a wonderful and engaging experience. He explained the fascinating world of bees—from their different types and colony structure to their roles and importance in the ecosystem—in a very simple and interesting way.
Seeing the hives up close, learning about the boxes used for rearing bees, and exploring bee wax products made the session especially hands-on. I particularly loved tasting pure honey!
The walk was another highlight, where we got to see the rearing of stingless bees and observe their colony through a glass-covered box. Looking for the queen bee was great fun and made the whole experience even more memorable.
A lovely workshop that combined learning, curiosity and a genuine appreciation for these incredible little creatures.
