The Association of Beekeepers of the Jewish Autonomous Region began to create branded apiaries on “Far Eastern hectares”
Birobidzhan resident Denis Borisov and like-minded people are reviving beekeeping in the Jewish Autonomous Region. They are implementing a project of branded apiaries on “hectares” - anyone can buy their own hive, receive high-quality honey and monitor their bees remotely. In addition, the beekeepers developed a tourism program and began to receive guests.
Denis Borisov told the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC) about participation in the ”Hektar” program and shared further plans for the project. The site was chosen on the site of a long-disbanded beekeeping state farm - according to Denis, there are ideal conditions here that have been tested in practice. More than 200 species of honey plants grow on the site and in the surrounding area, the main ones being linden, Amur velvet, Eleutherococcus and lespedica. In addition to the presence of a honey plants, important factors were the proximity of transport routes and rivers, as well as the picturesque landscape. On the site where the hives are installed, a beekeeper's house, auxiliary structures, and garden houses were also built. In five years, farmers managed to develop beekeeping and create sales channels. Today, work is underway to expand production volumes, as well as develop the tourism business.
