  • Jawadhu Hills in Tiruvannamalai is getting ready to have Tamil Nadu’s first honey bee park in Athipattu.
  • The tribal hamlet is located amidst deciduous forests on the ridges of the hills.
  • The park aims to bring back tribals in the hills to their native work— honey collectors.
  • For non-tribals, the park will exhibit the key role played by honey bees in protecting nature.
  • At present, only around 300 tribals are honey collectors in the hills, which have 272 hamlets in their 38 revenue villages and a population of over 30,000 residents.
