Hesse has increased its annual funding for bee-related projects to nearly double, amounting to around 550,000 euros, as part of the new EU funding period. This funding aims to support honey bees, considered crucial to agriculture, by assisting individual beekeepers and funding projects to combat pests and diseases. The funding can also be used for climate adaptation measures within the beekeeping industry. For more detailed information, the public is encouraged to visit the Giessen Regional Council's website.
