Bee Keeping Workshop
Join us for an immersive beekeeping workshop led by Apoorva B V, a renowned apiarist and founder of HoneyDay Bee Farms in Bengaluru. With over a decade of experience, Apoorva has been instrumental in promoting sustainable apiculture and bee conservation across India. You will get to learn Introduction to Beekeeping, Hive Management, Honey Extraction, Sustainable Practices and Hands on Experience on handling bees and beehives.
🐝 About Apoorva B V:
A mechanical engineering graduate turned apiarist, Apoorva's journey into beekeeping was inspired by his mentor, Shanth Veeraiah S M. In 2010, he co-founded HoneyDay Bee Farms, which now operates multiple apiaries across Karnataka, including Bengaluru, Ramanagara, and Kodagu. The farm produces various honey varieties and offers beekeeping training through its non-profit wing, The Hive, having trained over 3,000 individuals to date.
Apoorva's work extends beyond honey production; he actively rescues bee colonies from urban areas, educates communities about pollination's importance, and collaborates with farmers to enhance crop yields through effective pollination strategies.

About Us
About Us
DFO Meetups was founded with the vision of building a community of urban farmers—or rather, first-generation, curious farmers—eager to experiment with AgTech, Zero Budget Natural Farming, Permaculture, Sheep and Goat Farming, Agro-Tourism, Drones, and more. You name it, and someone in this community is doing it!
The challenge was to create a single platform where people could share their experiences, build deep connections, and inspire one another on this demanding journey. Now, in its third year, DFO Meetups has only grown stronger. It has sparked new initiatives, fostered entrepreneurial ideas, and empowered urban farmers to execute them sustainably.
These meetups are held once every month, each time featuring a new topic and a different farm as the venue, ensuring fresh learning experiences and deeper engagement with diverse agricultural practices.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Raman Natarajan
I have been a part of DFO group since its inception and exactly 4 years before I have attended a session on 'Snakes Mgt' at Grace farm and after that due to Covid and other personal reasons I was not able to attend and today I am happy to be back. I want to thank entire organization as youngsters have taken a lead now earlier myself and other old members used to organize. I find that all the volunteers are doing a very good job in organizing these meetups, working wholeheartedly. Food was simply superb.
Swapnsree Sengupta
We love the vibe of this community and attended most of the meetups happened in the past. The way they organise knowledge sharing sessions, santhe and games everything shows the effort that these people are putting. We hope these meet ups will run forever.
Joy (Paradise Acres Farm)
DFO meetups along with Santhe have come a long way over the last few yearovers. We have seen a lot of improvement in terms of organizing efficiency, planning and participation. Added a good range of farm products in the Santhe and the inclusion of live food counters enriched the overall experience. As a seller I can see a gradual increase in demand and sales. This is a unique mechanism/effort of creating a vibrant market with a fair price of products created with a lot of passion.
