A Buzzing Welcome to Aurovanam! - May 12, 2025

On 9th May , Aurovanam—our living Nature Lab—welcomed two vibrant bee families into their new home!  One colony of 10,000 Apis Cerana and another of 15,000 stingless bees arrived safely in handcrafted bee boxes, gently transported while asleep by bee expert Lazer Jean.

With Shiva now stepping into the role of bee carer after completing his upcoming Bee-Keeping Training , we're excited to begin a new journey—of learning, sharing, and celeb

rating these tiny pollinators with children and nature lovers alike.

As they awaken to Aurovanam’s native flowering trees and shrubs today, we hope they find joy and purpose in this bioregion-inspired patch of forest.

“Nature is a consciousness full of a marvelous artistry.” – The Mother

Stay tuned as we build a space for bee conservation education and reconnect with the hum of nature!
