Where others run far when they hear bees buzzing, Gajanan Bhalerao runs towards them. They have been his childhood friends since the time he was growing up in Sawana in Maharashtra’s Hingoli district, climbing trees to hunt for beehives, squeezing the nectar out of them and licking the honey off his fingers. If they stung him, Bhalerao did not seem to notice, so focused was he on the sweet reward of his pursuit.
