Honey fairs around the world

The most important honey or beekeeping fairs in the world, where beekeepers, packers and other related businesses come together. Therefore, these are fairs that you should not miss if you are a honey lover or if you want to work in this sector. The compilation is mainly national, but we will be adding or removing them as they appear each year. In addition, many of them offer catering and services for small children. For this reason, it is a good option for a day out with small children.
