Shivaji Honeybee Foundation

We are located at the Shivaji Science College in Pauni. It is in the Bhandara district. Being connected to the college is great because there are always people around. Shivaji Honeybee Foundation isn't just about bees, though that is where the name comes from. We focus on local things in Pauni. It’s a small town, so news travels fast and everyone knows everyone. Our office is just a room we use to coordinate things. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment. Just some notebooks and a couple of old computers that we use for the paperwork. The Principal was kind enough to let us set up here. Pauni is a quiet place, mostly focused on farming and local trade. We like the slow pace because it lets us actually talk to people without rushing. We are not trying to change the whole world, just our little corner of Bhandara. Sometimes we go out to the villages nearby to see how folks are doing. It is not glamorous work at all. There is a lot of dust and long walks, but it is worth it. We don’t have a marketing department. If you want to know what we are up to, you usually just have to come by the college and ask for us. We are usually around somewhere, either in the office or out back talking to students. It is a good life here.
