Namillangan Beekeeper’s Association

(By Peny Cayap)

Namillangan, Ifugao

Bee keeping is a hobby to the 20 family who were challenged to undergo training on proper handling of these little creatures that are harmless and friendly when left undisturbed and full. They are being studied as to their features, character, and behavior. How they are affecting the environment its contribution as they are also affecting the lives of their caretakers.

Since the introduction of the project, significantly observed was their unity. They have packed lunch they call “patlak” where they put all their food on the table and shared food so that nobody would be disturbed during the training preparing food. Others also handle snacks, either they alternately bring or cook snacks for the group. They are initiative and creative in their own way maintaining the good works just like the bees working together taking care of each other. This project enhances the fellowship within the family and the congregation as a whole.
