OUR ACTIVITIES
FOR THE GREEK NATURE AND THE GREEK APICULTURE
- Set-up of our Apiculture Development Department for the provision of updated information to beekeepers, carrying out training seminars and sessions with beekeepers’ groups, in an effort to exchange experience and to resolve any production challenges at collective level;
- Cooperating on a direct and multi-level basis with the Apiculture Departments of the Agricultural University of Athens and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, to implement joint actions and to directly disseminate information;
- Investing on the establishment and operation of the Weather Station on Thasos Island in 2016, for the constant recording and unfailing provision of weather data. Next, beekeepers are informed via text messaging about weather forecasts.
- Enabling beekeepers to participate in research programs funded or/and joined by the Company. Specifically, our Company strongly supports original research in the field of hymenoptera venom allergy, held by the Allergology Unit of the 2nd Pediatric Clinic at “P & A Kyriakou” Children’s Hospital.

- Establishing the “Beecome a friend” project, which places bees at its heart and creates the perfect occasion for getting to know them. The project involves activities to highlight the importance of bees and their products. Raising public awareness about the environment and helping every single small bee are preconditions for bees to keep doing their valuable work with safety. We have been creating a support chain for bees all along the Greek part of Earth.
