Artificial Insemination Laboratory for Bees Opened in Tbilisi

An artificial insemination laboratory for beekeeping has been opened in Tbilisi, a project carried out by NGO Agora with the funding of the Embassy of the Czech Republic, the Czech Development Agency and with the support of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia.

The opening ceremony of the laboratory was attended by Chairman of the Government of Abkhazia, Vakhtang Kolbaia, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic, Tomáš Pernický, and representatives of various international organizations.

According to Kolbaia, the Government of Abkhazia is planning other projects with the Czech Embassy.

“I am very proud that, through the collaboration of the Department of Agriculture of Abkhazia and the Embassy of the Czech Republic, this laboratory was founded which will create fertilized queen bees with new technology. It is well known that the productivity of the bee family depends on the quality of work of the mother bee. The queen bees created here will have distinguished quality and properties. It has been said time and again that the Georgian bees are the best in the world. It is well known that the best bee products are produced in Georgia and it is one of the most unique export products,” Kolbaia said.

This is the second project Agora has implemented with the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia. The first project was a greenhouse in Rukhi village of the Zugdidi Municipality, Western Georgia.
