MedBEESinessHubs: regional studies on the economic value of networking around the honeybee products in Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Palestine

MedBEESinessHubs project intends to contribute to the development of an actual Mediterranean BEE-economy by connecting clusters in five countries (Cyprus, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Italy) and going a lot further than just producing and selling honey, considering a vast range of side products, from cosmetics to handcrafting souvenirs and even to the consolidation of “bee-tourism".
This section contains some regional studies on the economic value of networking around the honeybee products in Cyprus, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon and Palestine. These reports identify the key actors and functions within the honey industries, highlight their strengths and constraints, and identify opportunities to improve the industry’s productivity and profitability.
