VALAŠSKÉ MEZIŘÍČÍ – Recently, the beekeeping community was affected by the detection of American foulbrood disease. Beekeepers received compensation from the Ministry of Agriculture, but it did not cover all expenses. Therefore, the town decided to provide an extraordinary grant of 100,000 CZK to assist them.

Six affected beekeepers had to destroy their colonies and contaminated equipment. The town of Valašské Meziříčí has a long-standing cooperation with local beekeepers, and this news impacted everyone deeply. The destruction of colonies and equipment could be devastating for many and also harm the environment. Thus, the town's leadership and the local Czech Beekeepers Association sought ways to support the affected beekeepers.
