Directive Announced by the European Beekeeping Association's Management Board
Slovenian Beekeeping Expert Dr. Peter Kozmus Endorsed as Vice President of Apimondia
Dr. Peter Kozmus, a renowned Slovenian expert in beekeeping and the manager of the breeding program for the Carniolan honeybee (kranjska čebela), is set to take on a key role at the upcoming Apimondia congress. The international beekeeping organisation, Apimondia, has announced that Dr. Kozmus will serve as its Vice President during the event.
The European Beekeeping Association (EBA) has endorsed Dr. Kozmus's candidacy for this position, expressing their support for his significant influence within the organisation. The EBA, which actively participates in Apimondia and contributes to the global dialogue on beekeeping, made this decision at a meeting held yesterday.
At the Apimondia congress, Dr. Kozmus will not only fulfill his role as Vice President but will also act as an influential advocate for beekeeper communities. His focus will be on species preservation and sector growth, reflecting his role in advocating for broader sectoral development at the global level.
The congress, which takes place annually, aims to advance sustainable beekeeping practices and strengthen international collaboration in the field. As the world's leading congress on beekeeping, Apimondia organizes a vital platform for sharing knowledge in beekeeping, bringing together scientists, professionals, and associations from all over the globe.
This year's congress will be held in Denmark, where the vote for Dr. Kozmus's candidacy will take place. The EBA, which supports leadership that promotes innovation, environmental responsibility, and the well-being of beekeepers worldwide, will cast its vote in support of Dr. Kozmus.
Dr. Kozmus's role at the Apimondia congress is significant, as he will play a key part in promoting the beekeeping sector in synergy with tourism, a reflection of his advocacy for broader sectoral development at the global level.
Apimondia, the International Federation of Beekeepers' Associations, is an organisation that Dr. Kozmus has long served, having managed the breeding program for the Carniolan honeybee in his home country of Slovenia. His dedication to the preservation and growth of the beekeeping sector, both locally and globally, makes him an ideal candidate for the Vice President position.
Scientist Dr. Peter Kozmus, with his focus on preservation and growth in the beekeeping sector, might now extend his influence to areas like health-and-wellness and fitness-and-exercise by exploring how improved beekeeping practices can enhance human well-being through the production of healthier honey and pollen, boosted by regular exercise in tending to bees.
Embracing Dr. Kozmus's leadership in the Apimondia congress, the European Beekeeping Association (EBA) could find opportunities to collaborate with specialists in science, health-and-wellness, and fitness-and-exercise industries, such as nutritionists and personal trainers, to develop holistic wellness programs that leverage the benefits of bee products and the therapeutic aspects of nature-based activities like bee cultivation, thereby promoting overall health and wellbeing for its members and the global community.
