Chandigarh University runs a wild bee training programme aimed at helping farming communities develop alternative sources of income through apiculture. According to reports, the initiative focuses on training participants in practices related to working with wild bees, with the goal of enabling households to earn from beekeeping-related activities rather than relying solely on conventional farming. The programme is described as part of efforts to link agricultural communities with practical skills and livelihood opportunities connected to local biodiversity. The coverage highlights that apiculture is positioned as a supplementary livelihood option, potentially benefiting both farmers and the pollination services associated with bee populations. While details of the curriculum and scale are not expanded in the provided excerpts, both outlets describe the training as creating pathways for community members to adopt apiculture and build new income opportunities. The reports present the initiative as a structured university-led intervention targeting farming communities and promoting wild beekeeping as an alternative livelihood.
