The Vibis Natural Bee Farm started with 10 hives

Not only did Josephine employed more than 50 tribal women from the hilly villages of Oddanchathram, Malaiyur, Ellapara and Sirumalain; she has also helped more than 300 women set up their own honey bee farms.

More than 20,000 individuals have also benefited from the free honeybee farming training initiated by Josephine under the National Honey Mission.
Her progressive efforts in honey bee farming have changed the lives of locals by improving their standard of living and by ensuring that their children have access to quality education.
Her objective is to make the sweet nectar available to each and every family for their daily consumption. She believes that honey helps boost immunity and purifies blood. Its medicinal value protects the body from major health problems like heart ailments and cancer.
