Since olden times, Ukraine has been famous for its beekeeping traditions. The world’s first disassemblable frame hive was created in Ukraine in 1814, that was the beginning of the development of industrial beekeep-ing in the whole world.

In 2015, Ukraine took the first place in the world for the production of honey per capita. The current vol-ume of honey production is no less than 80 thousand tons per season.

Over the past three years, Ukraine has been consistently among the world’s top three exporters of hon-ey, offering only natural products to foreign markets.

Today, several hundred thousand of private farms are engaged in bee-keeping in Ukraine.

The development of export gave rise to the development of professional beekeeping. Today, at least 20% of all honey is produced by profes-sional apiary farms, which own from several hundred to several thousand bee colonies.

We are pleased to offer you all va-rieties of honey that has been cre-ated by Ukrainian rich nature:• Polyfloral types of honey - Forest motley grass - Meadow motley grass• Monofloral types of honey - Sunflower - Linden - Acacia - Buckwheat - Coriander
