Within the course of the meeting, Leyla Aliyeva had sincere conversations with young beekeepers, showed her interest in their activities, and got informed about their first experiences in the field of beekeeping and their impressions of productivity. In turn, the young beekeepers expressed their gratitude to Leyla Aliyeva for her attention and support. They presented the first honey yield of the project that they filtered in special packaging to Leyla Aliyeva.

It should be noted that starting from 2021, 20 young beekeepers have been supported in Gabala district within the framework of the next stage of the "Young Beekeeper" project, which is implemented in partnership with the "ABAD" public legal entity, the Youth Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the State Employment Agency. Supported beekeepers have already started to get their first harvest.

Special trainings were given to 20 young people selected within the project by ABAD’s professional honey producer Yusif Guliyev. The purpose of this project is to contribute to the protection of biodiversity, promote the spread of beekeeping as a type of eco-entrepreneurship, support natural honey production and improve the financial well-being of young families. The young people who completed the training were provided with the necessary beekeeping equipment including bee family and hives, beekeeper's clothing, honey straining facility and other supplies.

Young beekeepers will also be provided with product certification, branding, design and marketing support. This support will help young beekeepers get access to a wider customer market and organize their sales efficiently to reach the stage of competitive honey production in the market economy.
