Well known worldwide is the Swienty company for its innovations in the beekeeping equipment. Swienty are involved in the preparations of the congress and will be one of the exhibitors. But they are not the only company with an innovative approach to make life easier for beekeepers. They are famous for their honey filling plants, that can be seen all over the world.
Another example is the widespread use of polyurethane and polystyrene for hive boxes. This has made beehives much better suited to the variable Nordic climate. Sometimes cold, sometimes warm but almost always moist summers and winters. At the same time, the hive bodies are light weight protecting the beekeepers from pain.
