We are a family beekeeping unit with a tradition in beekeeping in Rhodes for over two centuries.<\/p>

Our headquarters are located in the picturesque village of Archipolis, in the center of the island.<\/p>

The story begins with our grandfather Ioannis Mesanagrenos and continues with the same love and respect for the environment as back then.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
