Summary:

The plants were nurtured using wick irrigation and the bees were fed occasionally with sugar syrups. Kollam: Aneesh N Raj , a native of Anchal, is so passionate about innovation in agriculture that he left his tomatoes grown in a polyhouse entirely to the bees. In 40 days the mini polyhouse in his house at Komalam has full of red bulbous tomatoes. He is using a combination of aquaponics and wick irrigation to cultivate celery, lettuce, bok choy, broccoli, strawberry etc. According to Aneesh, the constant buzzing of bees would keep other insects away from the polyhouse..
