On June 25, 2025, a scientific and practical conference with international participation was held, dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian beekeeper, scientist and teacher Petro Ivanovich Prokopovych - the founder of rational beekeeping and the inventor of the world's first frame hive.

The event brought together beekeepers, scientists, representatives of the medical and pharmaceutical community, as well as producers of bee products from different countries.
