Beekeeping and the production of bee products is a specific activity in which heterogeneous factors interact. The main factors of competitiveness in beekeeping are formed at the regional level, but they are realized on a supraregional basis, which is why a marketing strategy is needed to develop the potential and competitiveness of beekeeping in the Rousse district, the starting point of which is the economic and geographical characteristic of the area. There is a discrepancy between the natural zoning of the Danube plain and the administrative and territorial structure of the Ruse region. The aim of the study is the interdependence between the triad “natural conditions – natural resources – economy”. One of the specific tasks is related to the analysis of beekeeping by administrative-territorial units in Ruse district, and the second is focused on the economic and market characteristics of regional beekeeping. The hilly nature of the relief, the relatively low altitude and the great biodiversity are the factors determining the variety of beekeeping grazing in the region of Ruse in terms of quantity and quality. The analysis revealed that it is more professionally oriented and managed by the national, with more efficient territorial organization and development, and with a higher relative share of organic beekeeping. These advantages determine its higher competitiveness. Now the district of Ruse forms more than 10% of the national production of honey (over 1000 tons per year), respectively and in proportion to the economic effect of pollination – over BGN 100 million/year. The district offers very good opportunities and optimal conditions for the development of api-tourism, which will diversify the beekeeping farms and provide them with more stable and higher incomes. It has significant production, educational and innovative potential, a solid base for the formation of a regional beekeeping cluster.
