His optimism for the future of the primary sector and the country was repeated by Deputy Minister of Rural Development and Food, Stavros Keletsison the occasion of his meeting, at Didymoteicho, with the youngest beekeeper in Greece, 14-year-old Demosthenes Sarsakis.

Mr. Keletsis had the opportunity to see up close the way in which the teenager takes care of the fifteen bees he keeps, he found the 14-year-old’s enthusiasm and love for beekeeping – which he said he wants to do professionally – and accepted as a gift a jar of honey produced by him which bears the name “Melisthenis”.

“I feel particular joy and optimism for the future of our country but also for the future of the primary sector, when I meet teenagers like Demosthenes who lives in the rural Didymoteicho and with a lot of care and passion has turned to beekeeping. We need young people, with fresh ideas and their own “open” look for the future”, said the Deputy Minister of Rural Development and Food, who presented Demosthenes with a beekeeper’s uniform and a smokehouse, with the wish that he would continue to do what he loves with the same enthusiasm and the same mood.
