Description
-
In 2006, Keystone Foundation opened India’s first Bee Museum in Ooty. This was a unique space celebrating native bees and the Indigenous
communities who live alongside them. Inaugurated by Meena Gupta, then Secretary of Tribal Affairs, and marked by a surprise visit from two
wild Apis dorsata colonies, the museum blended art, exhibits, and children’s activities to spark appreciation for local pollinators. Though it closed
after the pandemic, its influence continues to inspire.
