The program aims at the practical application of queen rearing techniques and the preservation of the valuable endemic genetic material of honey bees.

Within the framework of the initiative, nine trained queen rearers will carry out queen cell grafting at the apiaries of participating beekeepers, presenting the process in detail and offering on-site guidance and hands-on support to address questions. Each participating beekeeper will have the opportunity to receive up to 30 queen cells free of charge, sourced from selected genetic material, and to become familiar—step by step—with the queen rearing process alongside trained local queen rearers.

The program is implemented in the Regional Units of Boeotia, Evrytania, Phthiotis, and Phocis and is addressed to beekeepers in Central Greece, excluding Evia. Participants are offered specialized field-based training and free queen cells derived from the genetic material of the beneficiary beekeeper.

The grafting activities of the program will take place from February to May 2026, and participation is free of charge.
The program’s core objective is to strengthen biodiversity and support beekeeping in Central Greece through the improvement and conservation of local genetic material, contributing to the sustainability of the sector and the resilience of bee colonies.

The primary goal of the program is to reinforce beekeeping in Central Greece and enhance the region’s biodiversity and local agricultural production, as bees are among the most important pollinators of plants.

At the same time, the long-term objective of the initiative is the large-scale production of selected genetic material across the Regional Units of Boeotia, Evrytania, Phthiotis, and Phocis, with the ultimate aim of increasing productivity and developing more resilient bee colonies through the optimization of endemic genetic material.

The program is co-funded by Nea Georgia Nea Genia, the Region of Central Greece, the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, and APIVITA, within the framework of the Billion Bees Program.
The program was established through the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and is implemented in collaboration with the Agricultural University of Athens, under the scientific supervision of the Laboratory of Sericulture and Apiculture.

The organization New Agriculture New Generation announces the start of classes for the program “Mastic Trees: Securing the Future of a National Product” on January 30, 2026.

The program aims to continuously strengthen the sustainability, resilience and competitiveness of mastic cultivation on the island of Chios. Its educational activities include a series of specialized courses designed to cover critical areas relevant to mastic producers.

To date, more than 250 mastic producers have participated in the first organized knowledge and innovation transfer network for mastic cultivation on Chios, receiving training from specialized scientists as well as from a team of 24 specially trained mastic producers (farmer-to-farmer training) on technical topics and cultivation practices. The program was established through the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

The devastating impact of the September 2024 floods on mastic cultivation on the island highlighted the need to expand the program and strengthen support for mastic producers. The program’s expansion was made possible with the support of the internationally recognized organization The Hellenic Initiative (THI).

The 2026 courses will focus on the following topics:

1. Mastic secretion mechanisms

2. Nutrition of mastic trees

3. Cooperation and cooperatives

4. Financial tools for mastic producers

The program will conclude in late March 2026 with a closing event, where the results of the activities will be presented and the benefits for the local agricultural community highlighted.

The program is designed and implemented in collaboration with the Floriculture Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Chios Mastic Producers Association. The scientific team includes experienced university professors, coordinated by Associate Professor Mr. Stefanos Chatzilazarou.

The program is co-funded by New Agriculture New Generation, The Hellenic Initiative (THI) and the Chios Mastic Producers Association.
