The National Bee Day has been celebrated every year on April 30 - from this time the life really starts in the hives- since 1994, at the initiative of the National Hungarian Beekeeping Association. Its purpose is to draw attention to bees, the importance of their activities, and their indispensability in agriculture. 

On 19 November in National Centre for Biodivertsity and Gene Conservation, Gödöllő nature conservation and press conference was held in order to present the Grassland management handbook produced by GreatBustardLIFE project for the public.

The Native Courtyard - with live animal exhibition- of the National Centre for Biodivertsity and Gene Conservation welcomed visitors with a diverse palette on the 79th National Agricultural and Food Exhibition and Fair this year. Visitors can see several old Hungarian farm animal breeds from Pannonic bee to Hungarian grey cattle.  

“Ecosystems, products, conservation” was the title of the annual international conference held by DAGENE – International Association for the Conservation of Animal Breeds in the Danube Region – and SAVE – Safeguard for Agricultural Varieties in Europe – in Kozárd, Hungary from 24th to 27th of June 2018. The four-day professional meeting was attended by nearly 50 experts from 14 countries.
