The employees of Batumi Informational-Consultative Service Center visited bee farmingThe employees of Batumi Informational-Consultative Service Center visit bee farming of Tengiz Malaqmadze and got acquainted with the production and realization issues of honey. Tengiz Malaqmadze has been involved in beekeeping since the 1990 and owns almost 100 beehives nowadays, from which produces almost a tone of honey. Beside this, he makes queen bees, produces the combs and other necessary inventories for the beekeeping. Malaqmadze provides the realization of honey in his own market “bee house” and at the market of Turkey as well. According to him, non existence of Laboratory for determining the quality of honey in the region is responsible for the delay of honey realization at the international market. Beekeeper plans to withdraw the loan from bank in order to purchase the machinery for comb production, which will help to improve the production of honey. As Malakmadze said, because of expensiveness and technological complexity while renewing the combs the quality of honey reduces. Malakmadze plans to provide other beekeepers with natural combs in case of equipment purchase. Agro Service Center specialists offered the ‘preferential Agro loan” project with the farmer and explained the ways of getting it. At the end, they provided beekeeper to contact with the representatives of Bank.
