The Ministry of Agriculture and Food will support breeding beekeeping

3 February 2023, Friday

Today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, chaired by Deputy Minister Lenar Garipov, held a meeting with beekeepers of the republic. The issue of development of tribal beekeeping in the Republic of Tatarstan is on the agenda.

Our republic is one of the leaders in Russia in the development of beekeeping. In 2022 alone, more than 9 thousand tons of gross honey were produced. The Tatar bee (a bee of the Central Russian breed of the Tatar population) deserves special attention. Unfortunately, this breed is in danger of extinction. The reason for this was the lack of proper control and continuous selection work.
