The Ryazan cooperative "Ryazanskie pchely" won the gold medal at the "Best Practice in Implementing Technologies and Innovations in Small Agribusiness" contest held during the 28th Russian Agro-Industrial Exhibition "Golden Autumn" in Moscow, according to the regional Ministry of Agriculture. Founded in 2024, the cooperative unites five beekeepers from the Ukholovsky and Shatsky districts. They actively implement innovations including remote monitoring of bee colonies with video surveillance, temperature, humidity, and hive weight control; automation of honey extraction and packaging, production of cream honey, and drying of bee pollen. Additionally, members combine stationary and migratory beekeeping to flexibly adapt production to nectar flow conditions. The state supports the cooperative with a subsidy.
