Girl Stars - Anita the Beekeeper

Anita Khushwaha is a beekeeper in Bochaha village, Muzzafarpur district, Bihar. When Anita was young her parents did not want her to go to school, they asked Anita to look after the goats instead of going to school.

The "Girl Stars" project includes this series of films documenting the stories of girls from the most disadvantaged communities across five northern states of India who, through attaining education, have managed to break the shackles of socio-economic constraints and make successful, self-sufficient lives for themselves. These young women have become role models in their communities and beyond, inspiring girls to go to school and continue their education.

Great video! It is so wonderful to show that women and girls can do anything they want!

I am a female Beekeeper in the US and I have taught my daughters how to work bees. There aren't many of us women beekeepers around :)
