National Bee Board

We are located in Janpath Bhawan, specifically in the "B" Wing on the second floor. It’s a government building, so it has that specific feel to it when you walk in. Our work is all about bees and honey production across the country. There are several desks here and a lot of files about different beekeeping projects we monitor. People come in quite often to ask about training or how to get started with their own hives. It’s not always quiet in the office, especially when there’s a big meeting happening in the back room. Janpath is a very central area, so it’s easy to get to, but finding parking is always a big mess. We spend our days looking at reports sent in from different states. Some of us have been working here for years and know the details of every honey-producing region in the country. It’s a bit dry, mostly administrative work, but it matters for the farmers out there. We don't have fancy furniture or anything like that. Just standard office chairs and wooden tables. The elevators in the "B" wing can be slow sometimes, so we usually just take the stairs if we're in a hurry. You’ll see a lot of paperwork about various schemes and subsidies on the tables. It’s just how things work in a place like this. We try to answer the phones as they ring. Sometimes the lines are busy for a long time.
