Plovdiv, Bulgaria’s second largest city, is the venue of the traditional Honey Fest held from September, 13th to 22nd 2011, organized by the Acacia 1899 Apiculture Association. The organizers announced that from the 10,000 tons of honey produced in 2010, some 8,000 have been exported. This statistics once again proves that the honey product made in Bulgaria is of exceptionally good quality but it is not consumed widely enough within the country. Figures show that Bulgarians consume only 300 grams of honey per year.
