The Honeybee Walk- Exploring the Buzz - August 24, 2024
A lively event with SVARNIM Puducherry, where about 35 enthusiasts dive into the wonders of our local biodiversity with the Aurovanam, Nature Lab. Guided by bee expert Lazar Jean, is a PhD student who’s all about studying how honey bees find food in Puducherry. we explored the crucial role of honey bees in pollination, focusing on four species native to Pondicherry. Did you know these tiny creatures can travel over 2.5 kilometers just to find flowers? Our adventure began at Mervielle, an afforested area belonging to the Aurobindo Ashram near a natural pond splashed with
bright Yelllow-Alder wildflowers, buzzing with activity as bees collected nectar. As we wandered through a tropical forest, Lazar showed us innovative bee homes, including upturned pots and custom bee boxes. The highlight? Tasting honey fresh from the hive—tangy at first, then sweet! We left inspired, armed with a list of bee-friendly plants to grow at home. It was a day of discovery, learning how we can all play a part in protecting these vital pollinators.
