The Nagaland Beekeeping & Honey Mission (NBHM) planned the event. Phem Shiu and Francis Kikon from NBHM were the trainers’ resource people.

He urged all the beekeepers to put in more effort and use contemporary Scientific Beekeeping methods in order to produce more honey of the highest calibre, especially those from Lengnyu village. He promised the beekeepers that NBHM will assist them in any manner possible.

He went in-depth on bee behaviour and contemporary beekeeping techniques. The handling of honey after harvest and its packaging were also discussed in the training. Techniques for increasing honey production and harvesting it effectively with the use of machines without endangering bee hives received special consideration.
