Описание: A series of intensive training and demonstration programmes on scientific beekeeping were successfully conducted across villages in Noklak and Shamator districts of Eastern Nagaland under the National Bee Board – National Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBB–NBHM).

The programme is funded by the National Bee Board, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, and implemented by the School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University, Medziphema Campus. The project is led by Dr. Mary N. Odyuo, Associate Professor & Principal Investigator, and Dr. Avinash Chauhan, Scientist, AICRP on Honey Bee and Pollinators, Co-Principal Investigator.

The trainings, held from 19 to 27 January 2026, covered several villages across Noklak and Shamator districts and focused on scientific apiculture practices, hands-on demonstrations, hygienic honey harvesting, colony management, disease control, swarm management, value addition, and the role of bees in crop and oilseed pollination.

Farmers, especially members of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), expressed strong satisfaction with the programme. In a notable post-training initiative, participants in Kusong Village formed a group and began constructing scientifically designed bee boxes, reflecting a strong shift from awareness to action.

The initiative aims to strengthen farmer capacities, enhance rural livelihoods, and promote sustainable beekeeping practices across Eastern Nagaland.
