Traditional beekeeping

Greek beekeeping carries centuries of wisdom and sustainable knowledge. The Greek method has influenced beekeeping worldwide and today is at risk of disappearing.

After being successfully implemented in Crete and Attica with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the initiative remains open for support to expand to new areas.

Impact:

  • Preserves valuable knowledge for sustainable development and biodiversity

  • Highlights beekeeping heritage as a factor of cohesion, empowerment, and resilience for local communities

Testimonials:
"The replica movable-frame hives we obtained through our collaboration with Beelosophy could become an important part of our activities".
– Georgios Goras, Assistant Professor, Agricultural University of Athens

"The elders didn't have books; they had the Bees as teachers. What I learn from them, I feel it is my duty to keep alive".
– Manolis Spitadakis, Traditional Beekeeper, Crete
