Dear beekeepers of Ukraine and the whole world!
Dear friends, colleagues and our supporters!

These spring days millions of people around the world celebrate the greatest Christian holiday — Radiant Resurrection of Christ. It represents the victory of faith, hope and love, the triumph of truth and justice, righteousness and greatness of spirit!

Today we open our souls to God, ask to fill them with spiritual strength and hope. On this day, we thank God for the fact that in the days of trials, we felt his protection and support. The Great Day of Radiant Resurrection of Christ comes to us in order to unite close people, give them a chance to forgive the bitterness and resentment. Easter days usually encourage all of us to see and feel the world in a new way, to estimate the purity of our thoughts, desires and actions, and more — to be kinder, charitable, patient, noble to each other.

Let us learn the unity from bees! — We say. Let us learn the patience from bees! — We add.

We believe that this unity is based on long-lasting Christian moral values and will unite all of us, beekeepers of Ukraine and the whole world in our love to the Bee — insect of God, in our beekeeping, in our cooperation plans today and for the future, for the benefit of nature conservation, human health improvement, preservation of life on Earth! The Easter day is also time to commemorate all those who are not among us, who left his love and life experience and plunged into eternity. Let us pray for them. Let us also pray for good patriotic and public activities for the sake of prosperity and strengthening of each Nation.

May the happiness come in your life at the moment of Easter bells ringing! Let the unwavering faith, devotion and love rise in your souls. We believe that decent patience is rewarded with victory and honest life is crowned with glory. May the Lord’s grace be upon you! We sincerely wish you happiness in your families, good health, blessed destiny for your children and grandchildren, prosperity, inspiration in all good initiatives for the benefit of the Grand Beekeeping Work!

May the Easter be start of a new life for everyone — better and kinder! May the miracle of the Christ’s resurrection inspire you to good and righteous works, fill your life with light and joy, add enthusiasm and energy. May your heart be filled with the belief in the triumph of good like the pure moments of Easter!

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

Yours respectfully,
