Boštjan Noč, president of the Slovenian Beekeepers' Association, highlights Slovenia's leading position in beekeeping and honey consumption. He notes that if he were a bee, he would want to live in Slovenia, where significant progress has been made, making it the best in Europe. Since the mass bee deaths in 2011, systematic measures have nearly eliminated such losses in Slovenia, unlike in other parts of Europe where the problem persists. He emphasizes the importance of bees in food production and the careful use of phytopharmaceuticals when bees are in hives.
