The Papp family of beekeepers from the city of Khust in the Transcarpathian region is engaged in the production of honey, as well as healing products from beekeeping products according to unique recipes.
Victor Papp started with 2 hives in a suburb of Hust. Now his apiary holds 20 hives, which are located in all areas of the region.
The history of beekeeping of the Papp clan dates back more than 150 years. Victor's 91-year-old father, Vasily Papp, also looks after several beehives. He says he is healthy and feels great. And the use of honey and medicines based on it is considered to be the secret of longevity.
Beekeepers dry pollen in a special cabinet, after which it is added to the products. The family of entrepreneurs keeps the recipe secret. They have been working on it for years, changing the composition and dosage of individual ingredients.
The finished product is packaged in containers, glued to a label and sold in its own store. Recipe designer Victoria Papp says a honey product can cure almost all diseases. Children are especially fond of sweet medicine.
The cost of 600 grams of a jar of honey is 90 UAH., And the nutritional complex - 100 UAH. Now the Papp family is in full swing: pollen and beeswax are being collected, which will later become the ingredients of medicinal products.
