The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The Karnataka Forest Department, with the Swayam organization, has launched a beekeeping initiative in the Kali Tiger Reserve to give local communities a sustainable livelihood.
Honey is extracted using a centrifugal extractor that does not harm the hives and is double-filtered without chemicals.
More than 230 families benefit, with 130 of the 235 beneficiaries being women, and farmers receive 75 percent of the market price directly.
The report states that reduced dependence on the forest has lowered tree felling and human-wildlife conflict, and around 200 kg of honey has been sold under the 'Aadi Zankaar' brand.

Whether the honey becomes available in online stores as the report says it soon will.
Whether demand grows further given the stated good quality of the honey.
Whether the number of beneficiary families increases beyond the current 230-plus.
