The history of the apiary

It all began in 1994. I wanted to work for my living rather than to work for wages.

During this time, my grandmother was taking care of a hive.

So in the fall of 1994 by a hive we made ​​three hives, but two of them died in the winter. So I was extremely disappointed.

Was only in 1996 when I decided to try again and I bought seven more hives.

As a beginner beekeeper I could not to distinguish the queen-bee from a drone. Over the years I have learned how to distinguish them.

I accustomed to the pain and stress of the bee sting. I have started to work without any book reference.

In 2006, there was a problem with a bee parasite - varroa destructor. The medicines for that parasite had no 100% efficiency.

I started to read, learn, and experiment with herb. My efforts and experiments had success in the treatment of other bee’s diseases like  nozema. This encouraged me, because I knew that there should be an alternative.

In 2008, the problem with bee mites - varroa destructor increased.

To treat bees I used fewer drugs, but they had acquired resistance towards the drugs.

Most of the drugs were strong pesticides. I decided to treat the bees with herbs.

I had already read many books on treatment with herbs and I had acquired a lot of knowledge.

Finally, during the summer of 2009 when I did my regular experiments, I got my first serious success against bee mites -varroa destructor.

I use herbs since 2009, and my bees don’t disappear any more. They even became extremely strong.

When in the winter of 2011 other beekeepers lost their bees, I did not encounter the same problem.

Today my bees are healthy with growing numbers. My bee products are environmentally friendly and clean.
