Beekeeper Yuriy Shirokostup from the Kaharlyk district of the Kyiv region has announced that honey production this year will be limited to well-prepared and balanced bee families. This is due to the impact of rapeseed and the need for bees to draw from last year's honey stocks, particularly during acacia seasons. Some beekeepers who moved beehives for acacia blossoms have not produced honey and incurred costs. Shirokostup suggests beekeepers to insure their apiaries and advises owners of stationary apiaries to sow phacelia annually for better profitability. He also emphasizes the importance of diversifying products and focusing on retail sales to increase income.
