workshop. Many beekeepers brought sample
honeys in a sterilized container provided to them beforehand. The whole
workshop was divided into three sessions.

This session began with introducing foldscope to beekeepers
and local people and its applications.
2 nd Session-

flowers were prepared and everyone observed pollen grains under foldscope.
