He said that Kashmir produces 14 types of honey and Valley’s honey is number one across the globe.

“We have faced some challenges due to the spraying of chemicals in orchards, gardens and fields etc which leaves bees dead. But in remote areas, there are a large number of bees producing huge quantities of honey,” Iqbal said, adding that “its high time for a collective approach to save the flora-and fauna of honey bees.”

In Kashmir, Anantnag district produced highest quantity of honey. “In year 2019-20, the district produced 532 quintals of honey,” the Director Agriculture said.

He said that in the last five years, Kashmir has produced 33589 quintals of honey.

He said that different events were held in Pulwama and other areas. “Two honey and Bee Hiving testing facility has been inaugurated in Kashmir which is first of its kind,” he said. Parray said that today, Union Minister for Agriculture Narendera Singh Taumar.

He said that the testing facility will help bee keepers and honey producers to get their honey tested whether it has iron, pesticide or some adulterated content.

“We have trained hundreds of youth who are into beekeeping business and they are earning a good livelihood,” Professor said.

He said that Kashmir honey has zero adulteration and it has huge benefits. “Kashmir honey has a great demand in the international market,” he said.
