From October 5 to 9, beekeepers from Podlasie took part in a study visit to Romania, exploring ways to develop apiaries, enhance the value of bee products, and effectively promote local brands. They visited apiaries, farms, processing plants, and industry organizations in the Cluj and Sibiu regions.

During the visit, participants learned about honey production and processing methods, the use of bee products in apitherapy, organic certification standards, and direct sales. A key part of the trip was exchanging experiences with Romanian producers, discovering solutions suitable for smaller farms such as diversifying income sources, building local brands, and combining beekeeping with educational and tourism activities.
