Another dispute between traders and processors, on the one hand, and producers, on the other, caught the public's attention. This time the focus was on the price of honey. While the organization of Bulgarian honey producers hopes to sell their goods at a price of BGN 6 per kilogram, traders are invited to provide a natural product on their stands for BGN 4.50 per kilogram.
According to local beekeepers, however, this price is extremely unprofitable for them and this will lead to bankruptcy and extinction of the industry. Approximately 15 tons of honey are exported from Bulgaria every year, and the trend is to increase the amount of exported honey. The natural product is bought by producers at a price of BGN 5.20 per kilogram.
According to most beekeepers, this purchase price is also unprofitable, as the amount of BGN 6 per kilogram is the allowable minimum, which can lead them to profit. The useful product reaches the end user at prices starting from 7-8 leva, they remind.
In addition to the pricing of their products in the industry are faced with a number of other serious problems. In recent years, the practice of stealing bee colonies has become more widespread. Also, the poisoning of bees by farmers who spray the areas with cereals without warning is the reason for the decline of beekeeping in entire regions of the country.
Due to a number of problems they face, the native beekeepers submitted a proposal for software development, funded by a European project, providing a subsidy for software development in the field of agriculture by Bulgarian software companies to protect the bees.
The proposal stipulates that farmers who plan to spray in the fields they cultivate should receive an SMS notification where there are beehives in the area.
Undoubtedly, the biggest problem for beekeepers in Bulgaria and around the world, however, is the so-called Empty Hive Syndrome, in which after the end of the winter the bees inexplicably disappear. Scientists still can't explain the phenomenon, and theories about what causes the syndrome range from cell phone radiation to global warming.
