The participants were very happy and actively involved because now everyone has learned a job and in practice, beekeeping can be developed locally because Ky Phu and Cuc Phuong are all communes close to the mountains, which is convenient for raising and developing bee model.

Now attending the training course, with the support of very enthusiastic guidance from the teacher, I know how to take care of bees, separate and duplicate them... Beekeeping helps me to have honey to serve daily needs, improve my health, I will expand the herd to earn more income for my family.”
