To Honorable Mrs. Tetyana Vasylkivska
The President of the Organizing Committee
of the XXXXIII International Apicultural Congress

Dear Mrs. Tetyana Vasylkivska,

I was very glad to find out that the XXXXIII International Apicultural Congress will be held in Kyiv on 29 September – 4 October 2013, this being an honor to our country, Ukraine.

For over fifteen centuries our people have been widely acknowledged for beekeeping technologies and products. Being an important brunch of agriculture beekeeping has also been a significant cultural component. The delegates, participants and guests of the Congress will have a great opportunity to learn more about Ukrainian beekeeping, about our country and its marvelous culture.

God bless you and your deeds of preparation and holding the XXXXIII International Apicultural Congress. In this respect I confer you my Arhipastoral Benediction.

Lord Blessing upon you!

His Beatitude Sviatoslav
