In 80\u2019s, when nobody ever thought that apiculture can also be a profitable source of income at that time the futuristic mind of Gurmail Singh ran in a different direction. At that time, he started his apiculture business with mere two honey-bee boxes, and today his son has turned his work into a flourishing endeavour of 700 honey-bee boxes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though Harbir\u2019s father beekeeping work was making a good profit but it was still lacking the marketing perspective, due to which they were not able to cover the ideal market. So, Harbir thought of giving his father local business a boost with his planning and thinking. Harbir just after completing his studies overtook his father\u2019s business. Choosing father\u2019s business was not a compulsion for Harbir, it was his passion to continue the work which he has seen his father doing all his childhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first thing that Harbir did after he started managing his father\u2019s work was to give a brand name to the business- \u201cROYAL HONEY\u201d. Harbir was well aware that to promote a business on larger scale branding is very much important, so he got his business registered under this brand name. To give his work a more professional touch, Harbir especially visited PAU in 2011 for beekeeping training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the year 2013 he also gets his product registered under AGMARK and today from packaging to marketing, he does everything himself. He is mainly focusing on two products and that is honey and bee wax.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Harbir has mainly Italian Bees at his farm, and to maintain the higher quality of the honey yield they do season to season migration of honey-bee boxes from one place to another in nearby states of Punjab. He has employed 7 workers for this work. Mainly he leaves his boxes in Chittorgarh (Carrom Seeds fields), Quota (Mustard fields), Himachal Pradesh (Multi-flower), Malout (Sunflower fields) and another place in Rajasthan (Bajra &amp; Tuar fields) by taking area on rent. By the method of manual processing, he extracts honey and then does the packaging and marketing of his products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other than beekeeping, Harbir and his family are also doing farming and dairy farming. They have 7 acres of land on which they grow rice and wheat for home purpose, and have 15 buffaloes, whose milk they sell in the village and also keep some of it for personal use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, Harbir is making a good profit from his family business and in the free time, he also helps other people by guiding them towards the beekeeping business. Harbir\u2019s future plan is to expand his business to a larger extent and also become fully independent in terms of marketing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message for Farmers:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\">\u201c<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\"> Nowadays farmers shouldn\u2019t be dependent on farming only, they should adopt other agribusinesses also along with farming, so that if one option fails then they at least have other option to survive. Beekeeping is a very profitable business and farmers must give it a try to know about its benefits.<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\"> \u201d<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Full Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[442,309,445,441,443,436,435,444,437,121,438,51,439,440],"class_list":["post-2679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-small-with-image","tag-apiculture","tag-apni-kheti","tag-bee-wax","tag-beekeeping","tag-dairy-farming","tag-gurmail-singh-pandher","tag-harbir-singh-pandher","tag-honey","tag-kuhli-khurd","tag-ludhiana","tag-payal","tag-progressive-farmer","tag-royal-honey","tag-royal-honey-bee-farm"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
