About the programme

Beekeepers and beekeeping associations receive support through the beekeeping interventions of the 2023–2027 CAP Strategic Plan, claimed from APIA: veterinary medicines for varroosis and nosemosis, new hive boxes, beekeeping accessories and tools, beekeeping trailers, queens and bee colonies, accessories for elite or multiplication apiaries and honey-quality analyses. The 2026 round has ended: on 12 October 2026 APIA paid 51,814,035.21 lei to 5,369 beneficiaries, co-financed equally by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and the state budget. The deadline for the 2026 claims was 31 July 2026, according to the press (APIA published the 2026 round's guide). For the next round, follow the "Beekeeping interventions" section on apia.org.ro.

What do these words mean?

Eligible

Eligible means you meet the programme's conditions. An eligible expense is one the programme can actually pay for; an ineligible one you pay yourself, even if the project is approved.

Applicant and beneficiary

The applicant is the one who asks for the funding. They become a beneficiary only after the request is approved and they sign the funding contract or decision.

Application session (call)

The period when the institution takes requests. Once it closes you can no longer apply, and sometimes the funds run out before the last day. A programme may have several sessions a year or only one.

Applicant's guide

The official document with all the rules: who can apply, which expenses count, which papers you need and how scoring works. If anything differs from what FonduRO says, the guide is what counts.
