HBN Open Access Resources
Honey Bee Network advocates a philosophy of discourse which is authentic, accountable and fair. The Network believes that a knowledge system in order to become sustainable has to be both just and fair. Hence, while collecting knowledge from the knowledge holder, the Network makes it a norm to acknowledge the knowledge provider, unless otherwise desired by them. This particular practice has come handy in protecting the IPRs of knowledge providers. In the second place, the source of knowledge i.e. in the case of Honey Bee Network, the traditional knowledge holders and grassroots innovators must be acknowledged, unless otherwise desired so by the knowledge holders themselves. Finally, any proceeds that accrue from the value addition of local traditional knowledge and innovation; a fair and reasonable share must go back to them. These have been the guiding principles of the Network, which are fundamental to its functioning. True to this philosophy, Honey Bee Network is proud to share its Open Access Resources Database and invites you to engage with it freely and reach out to us in case you would like to contribute to it.
