Vearna is a Beekeeper, Independent Researcher, Beekeeping Mentor

Innovator, Poet, Writer and Author among other things…in the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago.

Being a Beekeeper for the past (15) fifteen years, Vearna realized that there was the need for a better understanding among locals of the nature and role of honeybees in the environment.

To help bring about further awareness of the honeybees, she founded Bee Active Initiative Camp in 2017 where she joyfully taught young minds about the importance bees play in everyday life.

However, she found that the camp was not enough and was delighted to put some of her experience into the animated story of Honeybee and Nectarine. She also started an annual Honeybee run where she dresses as a honeybee and runs in specific areas for the further awareness of these creatures. (However, due to the present situation of the Covid 19 pandemic, these activities have been at a halt.)

She is currently working on Honeybee Botany in Trinidad and Tobago and Honeybee and Nectarine Part 2

Vearna served as P.R.O of Trinidad and Tobago Beekeepers Association during her tenure in 2018 – 2019
