The 2nd edition of the Egypt Honey Festival concluded Monday, at the Orman Park, in Giza.

Egypt Honey Festival kicked off on November 18 under the slogan "Egypt's Yellow Army,". It was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The second edition highlights the importance of bee honey to humans as an integrated food with therapeutic properties, whose role has been shown effective in recent times to enhance immunity.

This year's festival slogan was launched after the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Egyptian Health Ministry confirmed that honey is one of the most important immune boosters against the coronavirus pandemic.

The festival featured many activities such as workshops and scientific lectures on the most important developments in the honey production sector and beekeeping.

It also featured lectures on marketing sciences to help beekeepers and all those interested to join this sector, as well as many recreational, artistic, and sports activities, as well as scientific lectures on the benefits of honey.

Egypt Honey Festival also hosted events for children activities such as the Little Beekeeper, which is a simplified course revolving around how to deal with bees, as well as how to differentiate between worker and queen bees.

The Little Beekeeper was one of the crowned pleasures provided to children at its first edition, which took place in 2019.

The first edition was attended by 120 Egyptian and Arab companies from Tunisia, Libya, Oman, and Yemen, as well as an African company from Rwanda.

The five-day festival, organized by the Arab Beekeepers Union, witnessed the participation of more than 100 exhibitors representing the most important and famous Egyptian companies, to display and sell their products at cheaper prices.

The 2nd edition of the Egypt Honey Festival witnessed a huge turnout since it kicked off on November 18.
