The Public Institute of Krka National Park in cooperation with the Open University of Knin conducted a training program for beekeepers 

In order to protect nature and biodiversity, encourage ecological production, and the economic development of the local community, the Public Institute of Krka National Park and the Public Open University of Knin cooperated in the implementation of a training program for beekeepers. Thirteen participants successfully completed the program.

I congratulate all the beekeepers on the acquired knowledge and skills and on the successfully completed training. We are pleased that you will apply your knowledge to the areas near the Krka National Park, and we wish you successful and strong bee colonies. We believe that thanks to the beekeeping techniques you have acquired, you will contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and thus participate in the protection of our pearl of nature”, stated the director of the Krka National park, Nella Slavica, and added: “As part of activities in cooperation with the local community, the Krka National Park regularly organises lectures, workshops, and meetings intended for the local population. We are pleased with the response of the local community, its support, and the projects that mutually connect us.”

A certificate of qualification for beekeeping duties is entered into the employment records. The training program consists of two parts: the theoretical part is held in a consultative-instructive method in the classroom, and the practical part with a mentor on a registered family farm.

The largest number of interested beekeepers were from the area of the upper and middle courses of the Krka River, so we are extremely glad that we conducted the training in Knin. In addition to the theoretical part of the class, through which the participants were introduced to all phases of beekeeping techniques, the beekeepers applied the acquired knowledge to apiaries this spring. After completing the training, they can improve their knowledge and skills through additional educational modules specialised for beekeeping”, emphasized Sandra Žulj Cigić, director of the Public Open Univeristy of Knin.

The importance of preserving bee colonies is an increasingly significant topic in the protection of biodiversity. Thanks to regular training, beekeepers can network, run hives more safely, take care of preserving the health of bees, and improve the quality of their products. Therefore, we wish our beekeepers successful and fruitful work in the apiary!
