A startup ApiTech, based in Floriano in southern Piauí, is developing a low-cost device to collect apitoxin, the substance found in bee venom used in various research and development fields. The company was founded to address the high cost and limited accessibility of current apitoxin collection technologies.

ApiTech aims to offer a more affordable alternative especially for small and medium beekeepers, ensuring the extraction process does not kill the bees. By reducing costs, the startup hopes to increase access to this technology and enable smaller producers to participate in the apitoxin supply chain.
