The seminar was attended by 46 participants from across Nagaland, with a majority being students from Salesian College.
Under the guidance of Chubala, Apiculture Officer and Team Member of NBHM and Er Khuvoi Vese, Deputy Team Leader from NBHM, participants received in-depth training on various facets of beekeeping, including hive maintenance, honey extraction, and sustainable apiculture techniques.
