Given the growing challenges facing beekeeping, such as the threat posed by the Asian hornet and the impact of diseases on hives, it is essential to act with knowledge and strategy.
APROSER – the Association of Producers of the Municipality of Sertã – is organising a practical training course in Sertã, aimed at beekeepers and anyone interested in acquiring the fundamental skills needed to protect hives and ensure the sustainability of the activity.
Over two days, participants will explore prevention, control and management techniques in an environment of experience-sharing and applied learning.
