How it all works?
Though various kinds of honey are produced by India’s diverse flora like orange blossom, cardamom, litchi, sweet clover and various other regional honeys, the urban consumer has hardly heard about it, let alone taste. The problem is such regional varieties of honey are produced by small bee-keeping societies in rural areas and there no companies involved in sourcing the honey from reliable suppliers and bringing it to the urban market. This is the gap that UTMT intends to fill.
Apart from this, there are countless success stories from farmers and testimonials from satisfied customers that add a bit more sweetness to UTMT’s efforts.
Catering to the requests of various honey lovers and gardening enthusiasts in Mumbai, UTMT has launched an Urban Bee-Keeping program. While urban beekeeping has been a popular hobby in Europe and North America, this trend is yet to make its mark in India and UTMT has kick-started this movement in India and inspire urban Indians to take up the practice as well.
Gift some honey
UTMT sells 100% natural, pure, gourmet honey, sourced directly from over 1500 beekeeper-farmers in some of India’s poorest districts. There are options to gift honey to your family and friends too. Also 10% of all proceeds raised through gifting, will support UTMT Society’s Bees for Poverty Reduction initiative so that it can continue to train poor farmers in beekeeping and help improve their livelihoods. There is no dearth of festivals in India and instead of exchanging sweets, gift some natural honey to your loved ones next time and share your love to our fellow villagers.
What we think of UTMT
UTMT has taken a novel approach to uplift rural livelihoods by harnessing the gift of the humble bees and we applaud Vijaya for building and running such a self-sustaining social enterprise. Currently honey from UTMT can be purchased only from Bombay and Bangalore. We hope the rest of India gets to taste the nectar from as far as the Himalayas soon!
