Sunil Kumar Jaiswal from the kit development department under the leadership of bee expert Teerth Kumar Shrestha and Dharma Jai ​​came to Jumla for study. The team studied the bees raised in Kolte of Gutichour Rural Municipality, Pere of Patarasi Rural Municipality, Gautambada and Dangibada of Tatopani Rural Municipality.

"They saw more than 400 beehives," said Narayan Chaulagai, a beekeeper farmer, "After studying the problems seen in the beehives, they took away the dead bees and bees." After testing in the lab There is hope that the disease will be detected.

During the study, the team reported that honey was not found in most of the hives. The conclusion of the team is that there is no honey in the hive as the rain has washed away all the water on the flowers. But as soon as the rain stops, the bees will start collecting honey in the hive.

Before the technical team, the farmers have demanded that the bees should be insured, that the climate of Jumla should be suitable for them, and that two people from the farmers and one person from the agriculture office should be trained on bees. The farmer's stance is that a kit expert should also be sent to Jumla.

Bee expert Shrestha has said that the problem seen in Jumla bees will be tested in the lab. I will discuss Kathmandu. After testing in the lab, I will distribute the results to the farmers," said expert Shresthe.

The team reached the farmer's farm for three days and reported that the same type of symptoms were found in bees throughout the district. According to the team's study, the honey in the beehive should not be in the upper part of the hive, because the hive is not covered, the hive is weak and the bees are dying. "Bees die due to diseases, parasites, pesticides and malnutrition," said expert Shrastha, "we reached three places in the district." The managerial aspect is fine . The hives are well maintained. It seems that something needs to be done to improve the hive to save the bees.

He said that the disease will be identified even if the samples of the dead bees are sent to the kit of the Nepal Agricultural Research Center and outside of Nepal. Bees of Serana Serana species have been reared in Jumla. The

team also studied beehive conditions, grazing areas and disease pests. There are more than 8,000 beehives in Jumla. Beekeeping is being done in one municipality and seven rural villages of the district.
