BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE FAIR
Organized by Serbian Federation Beekeeping Organizations on Saturday, September 21th., 2024, the Seventh Southeast Balkan Beekeeping Fair will be held in Vranje with international participation, with complex sales, exhibition, educational, promotional, economic and tourist content.
Serbian Federation Beekeeping Organizations in cooperation with the City of Vranje, has ensured that the entrance to the fair will be free for all interested beekeepers and citizens this year.
We expect a large attendance of the fair by beekeepers from Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey and Montenegro, because this part of the Balkans simply does not have a similar manifestation of such a large scale, and our beekeeping equipment is of exceptional quality and fair prices. The incredibly large visit to the Fair so far has shown that.
