The programme covered topics such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"1034\">\n<li data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"920\">\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"920\">preparing bees for overwintering

professional programme, the study visit also included networking, cultural visits, and the discovery of Slovenian cuisine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1380\">The ToT study visit successfully combined theory, practice, and community, contributing to the transfer of knowledge and empowering trainers to share these skills within their local communities.<\/p>\n<p
