Let's be healthy: In Novosheshminsky district, they practice sleeping on hives
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, within the Let's Be Healthy project, talks about the most interesting projects in the agricultural sector that help maintain health.
Since ancient times, people have known about the healing properties of beekeeping products. If we talk about apihouses, then the treatment occurs due to "sleeping on hives". Such a miracle of nature in the village of Lenino, Novosheshminsky district, was created for the residents of the district by Ivan Zaitsev. He built an apihouse.
In this house, a person does not actually see the bees, they are under the beds, but the vibrations that the bee family creates are healing. The interior of the apihouses allows a person to breathe in the air emanating from bee colonies, which is saturated with the aromas of honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly, and has a special, unique scent, existing nowhere else in the world.
The house itself is a small structure with a bed located directly on the bee hives. The bed is made so that not a single bee will sting the visitor. Lying on a hive-lounger above the bees, a person receives the heat generated by the bees to heat the colony (35° C).
The brood, which is heated by the bees, is bioenergetically active, it helps to balance and restart the work of all human organs, leads to a feeling of lightness and freshness, calms the nervous system, normalizes blood pressure, stabilizes the psycho-emotional state and healthy sleep.
Ivan Zaitsev started beekeeping 9 years ago. “My father was a beekeeper, then I took care of him. The farm has 50 bee families. I distribute the products to my friends and sell them to my fellow villagers, ”he says.
Apihouse was created for the idea and for the soul. There was no concept of it before. It was just a blockhouse, allowing a person to be, as if inside a bee family. I heard about their existence through conversations, saw photos. When I just built the house, I used a Central Russian breed of bees, but over time I realized that the Buckfast breed is best suited for this type of therapy. They have no craving for swarming, they are peaceful and productive, ”recalls the beekeeper.
