An EU-funded project supports the Kolašin Beekeepers’ Association to attract more young people to beekeeping as a business.
The Perišić family from Kolašin, a small town in north-east Montenegro, bought several bee colonies in 2022, and are already enjoying quality honey from their own production. The work to produce this harvest has been done by thousands of bees – and one twenty-year-old student of economics. Together with eight other young enthusiasts, Milica Perišić has recently taken up beekeeping thanks to a Kolašin Beekeepers’ Association project which promotes this hobby among young people.
