Croatian Prison Beekeepers Strike Gold and Silver at International Honey Awards

Croatian prison's beekeeping programme has garnered gold and silver awards at the 16th international organoleptic honey evaluation in Vukovar

Lepoglava Prison, located in northern Croatia, won gold for its acacia honey and silver for its chestnut honey, competing against over 236 beekeepers from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia.

The beekeeping initiative, introduced a decade ago, is part of a broader rehabilitation effort at Lepoglava Prison, offering inmates a path to vocational skills. 

More than 30 prisoners have completed the programme, which the Ministry of Justice views as a model of success in reintegration and skill-building for those behind bars.
