The health benefits of honey have been extolled since ancient times. It is best known as an antibiotic, used to treat cuts and burns, but also to relieve sore throats, as well as improve how the immune system functions.

This weekend Ukraine’s biggest ethnic museum located in Pyrohovo is hosting a special event to mark a big Christian holiday known as “Medoviy Spas,” or “Honey Savior” traditionally celebrated on Aug 14.
Beekeepers from all over Ukraine will come to Pyrohovo. They will sell linden, flower, buckwheat and other types of honey collected this year.

The folk bands from Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Chernihiv region are set to entertain the visitors with traditional Ukrainian songs.
