Approximately 23,000 beekeepers are working in this sector, with about 5,000 of them holding more than 150 hives each and are considered as professional beekeepers. Many other people are also engaged in this field subsidiary as amateurs at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting to strengthen the beekeeping industry as exports in relation to imports, we welcome the exchange economy with services and products concerning our sector by helping professionals and amateurs.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"es-resp\">\t<div class=\"hidden-xl hidden-md hidden-sm hidden-ms hidden-xs\" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/div>\t<div class=\"visible-md\" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/div>\t<div class=\"visible-sm \" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/div>\t<div class=\"visible-ms\" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/div>\t<div class=\"visible-xs\" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row bg_color_select=&#8221;second&#8221; border_shadow=&#8221;bottom-shadow&#8221;][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion color=&#8221;white&#8221; c_icon=&#8221;chevron&#8221; active_section=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Beeswax melting&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561053256018-ba41cf22-ce0a&#8221;][vc_column_text]We have a beeswax melting cauldron (old honeycombs) and a press for the full wax extraction. \u00a0Minimum quantity for melting: 200 honeycombs[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Artificial honeycomb leaves&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561053256042-7c9fc280-d31f&#8221;][vc_column_text]We exchange old honeycombs with new sheets of artificial honeycomb (two old ones with one new).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Wax-separating honey (cappings extruder)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561053474940-6d2fd85a-e9f9&#8243;][vc_column_text]We have a press (cappings extruder) separating screw in honey and wax.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Export of honey&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561053532201-3ab3567a-318f&#8221;][vc_column_text]We have an 8-frame honeycomb centrifuge for automatic honey blasting from honeycombs (3min finishing program).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Wire mesh&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561974243996-80afdcec-97bf&#8221;][vc_column_text]We prepare for you the boxes placed inside the hive (wiring and insertion of artificial honeycomb sheet).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Queen bees&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1561053580796-cba38fd0-957a&#8221;][vc_column_text]We grow queen bees and deliver them fertilized for rapid growth of honey.
