KAUFLAND GIVES SCHOLARSHIPS TO AMATEUR BEEKEEPERS

Enrollment for the new academic year at the first amateur school for beekeepers - "Beekeeping University", which is running its second edition in our country with the support of the "green" retailer Kaufland Bulgaria, runs until February 9. The aim of the project is to promote beekeeping in our country and to train a new generation of modern beekeepers. The initiative is implemented by "Real Honey".

The new edition of "Beekeeping University" offers three training courses - from a fully online course to real-time lectures and hands-on training from professional beekeepers in the field. The number of students who will be admitted to each of them is unlimited, and registration is done through the university's website.

Applicants can receive scholarships for their studies, some of which are provided by Kaufland. Full information about the study program, the participation fee and enrollment deadlines can be found on the university's website: https://istinskimed.bg/bee-university.

The flexible training format - the possibilities for online meetings, "live" talks and practical training, allows to learn the subtleties related to the cultivation of these extremely interesting and useful insects. The training includes all mandatory topics from the beekeeping literature, but also adds topics on the application of new technologies in beekeeping. The lecturers at the university are experienced beekeepers, teachers and scientists from Bulgaria and abroad. Thus, the school gives amateur beekeepers a chance to become professionals, which are not available in Bulgaria at the moment.

Kaufland Bulgaria recognizes the cause of promoting beekeeping as part of its commitment to protecting biodiversity and bees. The company has a targeted policy to reduce and avoid pesticides in growing flowers and plants and works with its suppliers to use mostly organic preparations. The chain includes bee-friendly seeds and plants in its assortment.
