"Banjalučki dani meda" event was held on Friday in Petar Kočić park, gathering 18 local beekeepers to promote domestic honey, bee products, and the importance of beekeeping for environmental protection. Goran Bursać, assistant minister of agriculture of Republika Srpska, stated that the ministry will increase support incentives for beekeeping.

Tomo Vujasin, president of the Banjaluka Beekeepers Society, noted that imported honey is often so heavily processed that even chemical analysis struggles to detect counterfeits. He emphasized trust in local beekeepers as the key to obtaining genuine products. There are 350 registered beekeepers in the Banjaluka area managing about twenty thousand hives.
