In collaboration with experts from Benguet State University (BSU), the Standards Knowledge Management Section (SKMS) under the Technical Services Division of DA-BAFS conducted a Field Data Gathering Activity for the development of two (2) knowledge products: the Explanatory Manual for PNS Code of Good Beekeeping Practices, and the Illustrative Guide for PNS Honey – Product Standard – Specifications.
With support from BSU experts and Technical Working Group members Ms. Lucille Faroden and Mr. Leo Kimbungan, the team visited various apiaries in the Cordillera Administrative Region from March 9-13, 2026. During the activity, actual beekeeping practices, techniques, and tools were documented to ensure that the developed knowledge products are grounded in real field conditions.
These knowledge products aim to complement the PNS by providing clearer explanations, practical insights, and visual references to support stakeholders in understanding and adopting the standards effectively.
