Fazekas Sándor emphasized in the local elementary school that the aim of the program is to draw attention to the importance of Hungarian honey and to healthy lifestyle. He added that this year the program will be orgnaized in 600 schools, which is 20 percent more than last year. More than a hundred thousand children can learn about the importance of beekeeping and can taste honey and honey sweets on this day. (MTI)
