Representatives of the Sułkowski company emphasised that they did not expect such interest in the trade fair. – We need to appreciate that we are meeting in expo halls designed for this purpose and thus offer a celebration of beekeeping in its many aspects, added Jędrzej Górny from Heksagon.  

Lectures and workshops – key topics in beekeeping

Lectures and workshops were held parallel to the exhibitions, featuring experts from the beekeeping industry. The topics of the lectures were melliferous plants and their impact on bee health, the proper condition of bee colonies, which is crucial for their efficiency, threats to bees, and actions that can be taken to protect them. During the trade fair, lectures were also given on the quality of bee products, modern beekeeping techniques, and sustainable apiary development.
