In the kin's settlement Schastlivoye there are four kin's domains that have succeeded in the direction of beekeeping. And one of them is the kin's domain of Ivan and Olesya. For the example of their kin's domain I want to show you a successful family, which has established both production and realization of the whole range of products related to beekeeping, as well as soap and skin care products.

As for honey, most of it is created here in the kin's settlement Schastlivoye. At the same time, May honey is especially pleasant, which consists of spring primary flowers of acacia, which they planted in 2010 together with neighbors and friends in the fence of the kin's domain and the kin's settlement. And in 2020 it became a real material result of social labor of all residents of the kin's settlement Schastlivoye. In addition to honey, a number of their bee products are full of pollen, perga, propolis tincture, propolis. All this is made by the couple themselves, and constantly consumed in their lives. That is, the landowners do not make a division into products for themselves and products for sale. Therefore, the quality of bee products is high. What is important, the prices for these products from the ecological kin's settlement Schastlivoye are not more expensive than for similar ones, where bees fly around the kin's settlement or near highways.

Now a little bit about their natural handmade soaps. These soaps are made under the direction of the main master, Nikolai Tangochin, who is a like-minded landowner from the Schastlivoye settlement and the technologist and ideological inspirer of the product production. Nikolay is constantly inventing new recipes for different types of people's skin. And so, the variety of soaps in production is 25 different variants, recipes that have proven to be therapeutic and preventive and some therapeutic. Liquid shampoos complement natural washing products.

From the very beginning, no one was going to engage in beekeeping on Ivan and Olesya's kin's domain. But planting in the kin's domain led to the need for bees to pollinate all planted plants: bushes, herbs, vegetable crops. There is an opinion that bees are necessary for the ecosystem with their vibrations and energies not only for pollination. From the point of view of ecology, bees are necessary as a food link of the ecosystem. And different bees, not only honeybees. But honey bees are easier to get, the technologies of their care are known and discovered, and plus they give a lot of popular bee products. It was very interesting for Ivan to start the first bee family, to observe and develop it. Then the honey became more and more. It was enough for treating friends and acquaintances. The next step was the investment of the Kiryak family in a mini-business related to the profitability of keeping bees in their kin's domain. And so the full provision of honey for their needs and requirements turned into a business, which became useful for the inhabitants of the capital of Moldavia, Chisinau.

As a general rule, all of these products contribute to a more conscious person's attitude towards themselves and their body. They do not pollute the environment and decompose. And living on the land in your kin's domain makes you think, first of all, “What do you use in your everyday life?”. Doesn't it pollute the Earth? Doesn't it pollute the planet? And that piece of it, which we consider our own - the kin's domain. Well, where it all goes and where it stays. And the most interesting thing is how it will come back to you when you walk barefoot on the grass, for example, in summer, or when you wash and drink water from your well and swim in the pond. In fact, that's the point of the interest in natural products.

There's not a lot of research about harmony and wholeness of people in our world. Living in one's kin's domain is one of them. The spectrum of ideas and their realization in the landowners of the kin's settlement Schastlivoye is not limited only to eco-farming, writing, and music. There are other labor aspects, not less significant, but more complexly organized. Their perspective has yet to be reproduced and linked to the way of life in the kin's domain. The residents of the Schastlivoye settlement claim that everything is exactly as dreamed of at the very beginning, but it is still much more interesting and exciting. And one must make an effort in loyalty and care.
