The BeeHolder, July 2011

The Czech Republic started the international competition and meeting of young beekeepers in 2010. This was a very well-organized event in which both the beekeeping as well as entertainment and sociability were not neglected. The understanding of young people across the borders should be, in this era of globalization, developed and not taken for granted.

Austria is going to hold this event in 2011 which was welcomed and accepted by last year’s participants in a very positive way. There are representatives from up to 20 nations expected this year. Monty Bees are one of the supporters who are sending a Welsh team of 3 young people from Ceredigion, Anglesey and Ruthin to Warth in Austria to represent the nation of Wales and learn from the other nations taking part.
