In collaboration with the Beekeeping Cooperative of Istiaia “I Kypseli”, the HERACLES Group undertakes to provide food for about 500 million bees for the next 6 months. The first delivery of bee food, which fully covers the increased needs for the winter period, took place at an event in the presence of the MP of N.D. Mr. Th. Zempili, representatives of the Municipalities of Istiaia – Edipsos and Agia Anna – Limni – Mantoudi as well as representatives of the local authorities and beekeepers of the area, at the premises of the Cooperative.

With the program “Bee Our Hero” and the targeted actions that will follow under its roof, the Group proves once again its long-standing commitment to the protection and conservation of biodiversity, taking a vital role in reducing the impact of climate change but and the transition to a more sustainable tomorrow for all.
