The EcoHoney online learning platform is currently being piloted as part of an EU-funded project driven locally by the Malta Business Bureau. It is inviting participants interested in beekeeping to explore the course materials and share their feedback to refine and improve the resources before the course is officially launched.
The project provides interactive educational tools and well-researched material around bee protection and supporting organic honey production to anyone looking to know more or develop their enterprise in beekeeping. Bees play a crucial role in biodiversity and food systems, yet their populations are under increasing pressure across Europe, making education and awareness around these pollinators more important than ever.
Access the platform:
The platform is accessible through the courses section. By creating a free account using an email address, one can access a wealth of free handbooks and modules designed to empower eco-conscious beekeepers and hobbyists. Topics covered range from the history of beekeeping and honey products, and marketing strategies to sustainable honey production.
The course includes several resources such as:
The Big Bee Book, exploring the cultural and ecological importance of bees
A handbook on organic honey production, addressing topics such as bee health, pest control, and hive management
A marketing handbook, providing guidance on promoting honey products and connecting with consumers Piloting Presentation
The learning materials are complemented by videos, activities, quiz-based assessments, and a digital certificate upon completion of the modules.
The piloting period will run until the end of April, and participants are encouraged to complete the modules during this time. Towards the end of the piloting phase, feedback forms will be shared to collect impressions and suggestions from users, helping the project partners improve the course content.
