Orders are being taken for the sale of bee packages (4-frame or 3+1) with 2025 queen bees until May 10, 2026, in the Kremenchuk district of the Poltava region. The price is negotiable. As the honey harvest concludes, the season's impact on Ukrainian beekeepers is under review.

Natural disasters, including hail, rain, and a cold spring, severely affected agriculture in 2021. To assess the beekeeping sector's performance, SEEDS journalists surveyed over 50 beekeepers and industry experts from various regions. In some areas, such as northern Poltava and southern Chernihiv, beekeepers reported higher winter mortality rates among their colonies.
