Pasieki Sadowskich: from five hives to three and a half thousand

The history of the Apiaries does not reach back to ancient generations. The founder helped at a local beekeeping farm after graduating high school, a year later he had his first five hives, then 18, and subsequently 45. Today, the bees from the Apiaries pollinate about 100,000 hectares of crops in Poland each year.

The family in the name refers to the founder’s parents, who supported him from the beginning, and a group of friends who work with him daily. Labels and graphics have been designed for years by artists associated with Polish art schools.
