Bees, often underappreciated, are among the planet's hardest working creatures, making them vital to our world. Amit Godse, the visionary behind Bee Basket, has embraced the mission of saving these invaluable insects, earning the moniker "The Bee Man" in Pune. His dedication to preserving bees is not only a testament to their significance but also a step towards safeguarding our lives and the environment we cherish.
