Association of Beekeepers in Visegrad
Registered in January 2003, the beekeepers association is
new and covers the area of Visegrad Municipality. On
registration, the association had 39 members of mixed
ethnicity. Today, there are 64 members.
The association approached UMCOR and submitted their
business plan, which was approved. They have received
donations of a variety of beekeeping equipment to be
distributed amongst the members. They plan to produce
beehives which will be delivered to 30 beneficiaries: 15
to Bosniak and 15 to Bosnian Serb members. They also plan
to employ 6 members to make beehives. Apart from providing
beekeeping equipment, the association will work as a
center for the distribution/sale of produce such as honey,
beeswax and more. They will provide training and education
for their members.
The association plans to expand activities to other
municipalities and hopes to grow into a regional
association.
