Laxmi Mahila Bachat Gath, Vill. Kasa has started a bee farm and a honey cultivation unit in their village. With 8 bee boxes, they received the first colony of bees from officials at KVK, Dahanu who have trained them in the skills pertaining to bee keeping. 

The first lot of honey is expected to be ready in the next 2-3 months. They will market this product under the brand name “Madhu”

We hope that this venture will help create an alternate source of income for these women so that they no longer have to go to the cities in search of livelihood.
