About us
The Poda family apiary
Bees have always been part of our family, and Dad always dreamed of his own apiary. Today he keeps about 100 colonies across several apiaries in Poraj and Kamienica Polska, and has been rearing queens for 15 years. A carpenter by trade, he is good with his hands and never stops learning. Mum helps with everything that takes patience.
“The best thing about bees is that you keep learning your whole life.”
