Gundu update: Bees, planning and cleaning up

Planning

Nepal Permaculture Group experts discuss with us the possibilities of the farm 

We had visitors from Nepal Permaculture Group (NPG) in our farm. They liked the farm and we are planning on developing the area in different phases. We are excited to build, create and make a learning space for permaculture. This is possible and is exciting.

happy with bees

Setting the bees- happy happy bzzzzzzz

The best addition to the farm that we did was the BEES. We have brought a hive of bees of local variety called “Apis cerana” in the farm now. As we work with the bees we will learn and progress with the bees. We left at 6 am to collect the bees and after being in the car for an hour, we finally set them up in the veranda of the house. It’s a new place and new surrounding and we hope they will do well and we get delicious honey!!!

Our clean up-crew

We also organised a small clean up in the area around the farm. Plastics rule every part of Nepal and so we decided to do bits. We got help from some local residents. We have come to a big problem. What do we do with the plastics we collected? We cannot burn it- it creates more damage to the environment as the smoke is poisonous and the fine burned plastic creates more problem. What is the solution? Big question for us. We are planning to organise another clean up with the kids and women of the area and we are still trying to think of what we can do with the waste we collect? Any suggestions?
