Apiary "Honey Spring" is a family business of the Vasiliev family. Actually, they do all the work with their own hands, they don't hire employees yet. But they say: it is in plans. At Vasiliev now about 300 beehives. The apiary is located on the territory of Svativsky general zoological reserve of local significance, which is a nature protection zone of Luhansk region. Many maples and lindens grow here, which are good honey plants. And a whole variety of colors. Near the field of sunflowers.
The honey business was started in 2017 by the daughter of the owner of the apiary - Oksana Litvinova. She is a financier by education. For a long time she worked in a bank, tried her hand in several other areas, but stopped at business and she really likes it.
- The idea of ​​making honey products came to us a few years ago, - says Oksana. - Dad keeps bees. He also collects honey, wax, pollen and propolis. And we pack it all, giving an attractive appearance. The range of products "Honey Source": May honey, honey from herbs. Add cinnamon, turmeric, pollen, walnuts and dried fruits to the honey. By the way, we grow nuts and fruits ourselves, in the apiary garden. We also sell tea, which includes medicinal plants collected in the reserve. Recently, they began to produce natural cosmetics, which are in great demand. These are scrubs, anti-cellulite products, masks, soaps, cream-soaps, lip balms and cuticle oil. And souvenirs - candles, baskets, piggy banks and more. And everyone who visits the Luhansk region can buy souvenirs in memory of this trip, as well as make an exclusive and healthy gift to their loved ones and friends for each calendar or church holiday.
Oksana says she has a lot of new ideas.
