“…The pandemic brought an urgent need to shift rapidly from in-person learning systems to distance learning, supported by technology and digital content, causing an evolution not only in the technology itself but also in the didactic and pedagogical domains. Therefore, at present, professionals are more adapted to distance learning and innovative learning methodologies, as well as assessment formats [26][27][28].…”

Habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental degradations pose severe challenges to beekeepers. Therefore, this sector needs to rely on updated information so that the intervening actors can deal with the problems. In this context, and assuming that professional training can greatly help those acting in the beekeeping sector, this work intended to investigate the gaps in the updated knowledge of beekeepers and how these can be filled through lifelong learning. The research was conducted in seven European countries (Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, and Spain). The data were collected through a questionnaire survey translated into the native languages of all participating countries. The results revealed that the topics of highest interest are apiary health and pest control and the management of the colonies throughout the year. The beekeepers update their knowledge through family, complemented by professional training, with participants preferring in-person courses as well as, in the workplace or in internships. The learning methodologies they consider most useful are project-based learning and learning through gamification. The videos and paper books or manuals are particularly valued as learning materials, and practical exercises are considered the most helpful assessment format. Finally, considering the effect of sociodemographic variables on the learning experiences and preferences of beekeeping actors, it was observed that the country was the most influential of the variables under study. In conclusion, this work revealed valuable information that should be used to design professional training actions to help the professionals in the beekeeping sector enhance their competencies and be better prepared to manage their activities successfully.

“…During the closure, classes were held online. Communication between students and teachers was not as effective, and there were also problems with student assessment, especially in the fairness area of assessment [ 1 , 49 , 54 , 58 ]. For a while, there were no webinars in education at all, only communicate via email, online classrooms, etc.…”

“…Many authors [ [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] ] state that one of the main problems of distance education in emergency situations lies with interaction and communication. On the one hand, Akachi and Ayed [ 59 ] as well as Yorkovsky and Levenberg [ 58 ] point out the importance of teaching certain areas (teaching entrepreneurship via authentic experiences, role-playing, workshops, etc. and teaching science and mathematics via experiments, demonstrations, etc.)…”

“…in traditional ways. In Yorkovsky and Levenberg's [ 58 ] study, future teachers clearly prefer the traditional method to asynchronous online instruction (and the latter to synchronous online instruction). They also point to the problem of recording online lectures that make students feel uncomfortable, which may reduce their willingness to ask questions in case of any misunderstanding.…”

“…They also point to the problem of recording online lectures that make students feel uncomfortable, which may reduce their willingness to ask questions in case of any misunderstanding. Interaction, which is direct in a traditional way, is highlighted as an important factor in the study [ 58 ]. Moreover, Akachi and Ayed [ 59 ] emphasize the importance of learning as a social process and how reduced interaction lessens the effectiveness of learning.…”
