On Wednesday, 27 August 2025, the event Smart Solutions in Agriculture and Beekeeping took place at the Regional Development Agency ROD Ajdovščina. It was aimed at beekeepers and the wider public. The purpose of the event was to present the potential of new technologies that can help farmers and beekeepers adapt to increasingly frequent climate changes and find sustainable solutions for the future.
The keynote speaker was beekeeper Matej Petrovčič, who gave a lecture on the opportunities and challenges of using modern technologies in beekeeping and presented his innovative Oxiking sublimator for oxalic acid. This device represents an advanced and efficient solution for controlling varroa mites and is the result of many years of practical work and experience.
Participants gained insight into simple and accessible technological solutions that can support their daily work, while also having the opportunity to exchange their own experiences, ideas, and best practices. In addition to professional content, the event also fostered stronger cooperation and networking among local farmers and beekeepers.
