Founded by Mr. Ajay Saini in November 1990, Jyoti Apiaries embarked on a journey that has since revolutionized honey production in North India. While pursuing a degree in entomology as part of his BSc. in agriculture, Mr. Ajay Saini became acquainted with the vital role bees play in the environment, food production, and the overall food chain system. This newfound knowledge sparked the idea of beekeeping and honey harvesting. Committed to introducing scientific beekeeping techniques and sustainable honey extraction methods to local farmers, Jyoti Apiaries established strong roots.

IMPORTANCE OF BEES

​

Bees are crucial for the food chain because they play a key role in pollination. When bees collect nectar and pollen from flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating fertilization and the production of fruits and seeds. This process is essential for the reproduction of many plants, including those that produce the fruits, vegetables, and nuts that make up a significant portion of our diets. Without bees and other pollinators, the food chain would be disrupted, leading to a decline in food production and potentially threatening the survival of various plant species and the animals that depend on them. Bees are vital pollinators that help ensure the availability of diverse and nutritious foods in the food chain.
