[Assam] Beekeeping at the Mahanta Apiary

Now that you asked Utpal :-): It has been quite an awesome journey for me since I took up beekeeping in the spring of 2010. Some of you read about the emotionally roller-coasting experiences: The loss of a queen, laying-worker colony, destruction of the colony, replacement with a new starter

Beekeeping has to be an interesting work. I congratulate Mahanta da for his success and hope it would encourage people back home in Assam. Traditional activities of such types can only be carried out if we have a 'mati-ghor' (of even a small in size). Increasing 'flat-culture' may have advantages,
