Фото 1
'Apiary Estate' in Kolomenskoye showcases key aspects of Russian beekeeping and the life of beekeepers. The exhibition is divided into two halls: 'History of Beekeeping' and 'Peasant Cottage'.

In the 'History of Beekeeping' hall, the activities of Russian beekeepers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are presented. Here, you can see the first non-removable and removable hives, such as the log hive, the hollow log, as well as Prokopovich and Dadant hives, and the removable log of Mochalkin. Beekeeping equipment is displayed on the podium and benches: honey extractors, wax melters, beekeeper's knives, smokers, frames with wax combs, face nets, and beekeeper clothing.

The 'Peasant Cottage' hall recreates a living space typical for peasants in the Moscow province at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. In the garden area next to the hives, honey plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and herbs grow, providing bees with a complete food supply. Nearby the 'Apiary Estate' are the Apothecary Garden and the Garden Flowerbeds.

For the convenience of visitors, a stair lift is provided.
