SreePVF is pleased to share that the pioneering work of our 2024 Agriculture Research Grants awardee at CSIR-IIIM, Jammu, J&K, has been highlighted by The Hindu. The research introduces a “warm womb” protocol that enables migratory honey bees (Apis mellifera) to survive the sub-zero winters of Kashmir.

This scientific intervention marks a major shift in the region’s apiculture, eliminating the need for costly seasonal migration to the plains and significantly reducing bee mortality. Beyond logistics, this innovation has also enabled the harvest of the region’s first mono-floral apple honey, opening new economic avenues for local orchardists and beekeepers.
