The sixth generation of beekeepers Zaripovs. Family Museum. Household items and antique beekeeping equipment

PIONERPRODUKT.by continues to publish videos from AcroExpedition on beekeeping farms in Tatarstan. In this video, we will get acquainted with hereditary beekeepers - the Zaripov family, see their family museum with old beekeepers' equipment.
Brothers Gafur and Nurislam are hereditary beekeepers. And not just hereditary, but in the sixth generation. Their family, since 1770, is engaged in not simple, but favorite business. Believe me, even we do not often meet with such dynasties.
We start our tour of the family beekeeping museum with a collection of old books, some of which are about a hundred years old. According to the Zaripov brothers, the basis of beekeeping described in them is relevant to this day.
Pre-revolutionary abstracts on beekeeping in Arabic and Old Tatar languages ​​were neatly placed next to the books.
Near the old black-and-white photographs on a small tablet, familiar military awards of the Second World War shine, among which there are miraculously preserved St. George Crosses of Tsarist RUSSIA, how did they survive the turbulent times of the country of the Soviets? How much you need to love your family in order to be so reverent about the things of your ancestors. Next to the medals are large certificates of honor "To the best beekeeper" with a portrait of the leader on the title page.
On the next shelf there is a great-grandfather's hundred-year-old beehive brought by the middle brother, who restored the family apiary in the same place. A feature of the old hives is that the frames in them were not located horizontally, as they are now, but vertically. Nearby is a manual honey extractor converted from a metal barrel.
In the family museum, in addition to tools for the beekeeper, there are also household items from past eras: from a manual copper mill from a mailbox to a Parus brand tape recorder.
We hope that all museum items will not only be preserved by descendants, but will also increase over time. And the kind of beekeepers Zaripov, like hundreds of years before, will be at the forefront of domestic beekeeping!
