The aim of the operation is to develop and implement a product - improved natural honey, obtained on the basis of specially shaped benefits and without the use of chemical methods of protection. Both new technologies of honey production using innovative apiaries with hives of modified construction will be introduced, as well as innovative marketing methods. 6 innovative mini-lanes will be created, in which research on bee welfare and honey quality will be conducted.

The subject of the operation is the production of honey of increased quality, without the use of active substances (amitraze) to combat varroasis, by creating appropriate welfare conditions for bees and melliferous crops and providing land and soil conditions for obtaining pro-health values and good price class. The hives will have an innovative design, with controlled conditions and automatic adjustment of the mini-climate. During the implementation of the project, innovative mini-apiaries will be created. In addition to ensuring the well-being of bees, thanks to their innovative design and technology and high energy efficiency, they will be adapted to a one-man service that does not require significant physical effort. According to the assumptions of the project, the construction of hives (there will be no excessive moisture harmful to bees in them), will allow without the use of chemicals to significantly reduce and even combat varroa - one of the most dangerous parasitic diseases of bees. In the course of the conducted research, special seed mixtures will be developed to obtain high-quality benefits.
