Every year more and more species of Honey bees become extinct. The grave impact of their extinction on the balance of our ecosystem is largely unknown to the common man. Being a full time Beekeeper by choice, Apoorva throws light on this topic and informs how and what needs to be done. Apoorva found his passion in Bee-Keeping while studying Mechanical Engineering at Chitradurga and there on became a professional beekeeper & entrepreneur 8 years ago. He travels often across the country to create a network of Bee-Keepers with best practices, facilitating technology transfer to the communities belonging to grass root level. His on-field technical proficiency about bees and beekeeping is recognised by many Agricultural and Horticutural Universities, NGOs, Tribal communities and Farming communities across the country. He has worked with Dept. of Horticulture, Govt.of Karnataka, as a consultant to implement Bee-Keeping programs in the state. Through "The Hive Trust" (NGO, Incepted in 2010), Apoorva conducts various training programs in Bee-Keeping & has also presented white papers in seminars, emphasising on initiation of more research projects involving Bees & Honey and other Bee-Hive products. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
