Communication Activities: The European Beekeepers' Association addressed a reasoned letter to the Commissioner for Agriculture of the European Union, His Excellency Janusz Wojciechowski, and requested a meeting regarding the pan-European problem with counterfeit honey. Such unfair competition, which is gaining momentum, does not allow real beekeepers to market their honey. Consumers are deceived, the beekeeping industry is on its knees. The European Beekeeping Association is fighting for something to change, because we all need an urgent solution.
