Biland Ltd. and Ram Commerce Ltd. through: - selection and production of high-efficient bee mothers, - selection and production of drones, - storage of semen for artificial insemination, - raising bee families, The main expected results of the activities envisaged in the project are related to the creation of working and highly effective bee families, organically grown, thus to provide better honey and others. bee products production and thus increase the economic efficiency of beekeeping.
