Czech bee breeders for all European bee breeders
The Bee Kingdom – our experience
- Our family has been keeping bees as a business for over 70 years. Started by our grandfather, then passed to our father and later to the present generation. Now I work shoulder to shoulder with my brother.• We have been providing our customers with nuclei since 1993
- I am Pavel Konečný, I am an official guarantor of the “Bee Kingdom” brand
- I myself have been devoted to bees for over 35 years. My brother for even longer
- I was teaching in the Beekeeper´s Educational Center in Nasavrky near Chrudim for three years
- I spent another three years in apiarian foreign interships in Europe and in the USA
- When working with bees we specialise in the breeding of strong colonies while focusing on nuclei production, queen breeding and the production of honey
- I have been teaching beekeeping and related professional topics for over 20 years
- Alongside my brother we operate on sites in two regions at a distance of 400 km
- Near Prague - in the river basin of Berounka, close to Karlštejn Castle (the Brdy Mountains)
- Near Opava – in the river basin of Moravice, close to Hradec nad Moravicí Castle (the Oderské Hills)
- Until 2010 we operated only on Adamec frame size, i.e. 39,0 x 24,0 cm. At the site near Prague we have been changing over to Langstrot frame size, i.e. 44,8 x 15,9 cm since 2011
- Apart from beekeeping, I deal with the practical skills of “how to submit information” to make the lectures on beekeeping as effective as possible
- I completed a special training for trainers and for 10 years have led communication skills trainings, presentation skills trainings and trainer training courses.
