equipment, and other necessary tools to launch their own beekeeping
operations.

help grow their beekeeping businesses, enhance output, and improve
the presentation and commercialization of their honey products.

Employment Agency, and "ABAD" public legal entity.
The project aims to protect biodiversity, promote beekeeping as
an eco-entrepreneurial activity, support natural honey production,
and enhance the financial well-being of young families.
