Statewide school honey‑bee project launched to teach biodiversity in Karnataka government high schools
A new initiative installs safe beehives in selected government secondary schools across Karnataka to provide hands‑on nature lessons and promote biodiversity awareness among students.
A unique educational project has been launched across Karnataka, installing non‑harmful beehives in selected government high schools. The program aims to teach nature lessons through practical experience, allowing students to observe bee colonies firsthand.
The initiative focuses on fostering an understanding of biodiversity among schoolchildren by integrating beekeeping into the curriculum. By placing safe beehives on school premises, teachers can conduct interactive sessions that highlight the ecological importance of bees.
Education officials describe the scheme as an innovative approach to environmental education, encouraging students to appreciate the role of pollinators in ecosystems. The project is expected to enhance biodiversity awareness and inspire future conservation efforts.
The rollout will continue in additional government schools, expanding the reach of hands‑on nature education throughout the state.
