Honey Bees' role in pollination and thereby biodiversity conservation is well established. It is also recognized as livelihood support among farmer communities too. Bees for Life Project of TIES has evolved as livelihood support to destitute women and marginalized communities. Vanaja, a widower and cancer patient who is undergoing chemotherapy now has no revenue at all. Her daughters are school children, but their studies, her treatment, and day to day life of the family are supported by philanthropists to an extent. TIES provided 10 honey boxes to Vanaja 6 months back and the family maintained them with the assistance of the apiculturists of TIES. Now the family harvested their first batch of honey this year!! Bees for Life project has changed her life and it's a therapy for her now. Yes, it's TRUE that Bees are for Life!!
