Lakit Honey House – a honey house that offers the pure bounty of nature, with every drop carrying love and care. Here, the miracle of beekeeping and high-quality products come together.
Badraddin Hasratov is one of the most recognized figures in Azerbaijan's beekeeping industry. Born on September 14, 1964, he developed his love and passion for beekeeping from a young age. His beekeeping journey began in Russia between 1987 and 1993, and later continued in Ukraine and Turkey. Participating in symposia, conferences, and seminars around the world, Badraddin Hasratov even attended an extensive 40-day beekeeping training in China, gaining profound international knowledge and experience.
Starting to build a large-scale complex in 2013, Badraddin established the "Bal Evi" beekeeping farm in 2015. To successfully implement the project, specialists from the United States were invited multiple times, ensuring comprehensive development of the farm. Today, "Bal Evi" hosts approximately 1,000 bee colonies. The farm consists of several departments: honey production, queen bee breeding (selective breeding), production of royal jelly and other bee products, as well as workshops for beehives, frames, and candles.
The Beekeepers' Academy operating within the farm plays an invaluable role in passing on beekeeping knowledge to new generations. Additionally, the farm is engaged in the research and propagation of honey-bearing plants. Possessing extensive knowledge about these miraculous creatures, including bee pathology, Badraddin Hasratovhas successfully developed beekeeping tourism at his farm.
His future goals are even more ambitious: he is working on establishing a wellness retreat that utilizes bee products for therapeutic purposes. This project will offer a unique experience for both health enthusiasts and nature lovers.
