“If the honey bee disappeared from the surface of the globe the man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, No more pollination, No more plants, No more animals, No more man.”Albert Einstein

Api Culture Technology Center was established in 2004 at Rural Technology Park in association with NIRDPR, with technical support from the Bee Keepers Association and Kavuri. The center presents itself as a practical mission for training, technology transfer, pollination, and livelihood support across rural communities.
The mission grows through scientific beekeeping, honey processing, queen rearing, hive product awareness, equipment access, and public-facing apiculture education for farmers and future beekeeping entrepreneurs.
