Get to know LYSON
History
It all started in the 1950s. Marian Lyson,
grandfather of the current owners of the company, worked as a locksmith at the High-Pressure
Engine Factory. He devoted all his free time to his passion - beekeeping.
Born innovator, he was constantly looking
for ways to improve work in apiary not only for him but for bees as well. He
bought a pre-war hand drill and converted it into an electric one. This helped
him to create his first molds for the production of polystyrene beehives, which
at that time was a completely innovative solution in beekeeping.
It is him who set the path that Pasieka
Lyson is still following today, combining tradition with modernity.
FROM A FAMILY-OWNED MANUFACTORY TO
THE
LARGEST BEEKEEPING COMPANY IN POLAND
Marian Lyson spent
years perfecting models of polystyrene hives, and wherever he presented them,
they attracted great interest among beekeepers. However, although the first
polystyrene hive was made in Poland in the 1960s, they were still not produced
on a larger scale.
He decided to change
that.
In 1988, together with
his son Andrzej, he founded Apicol and started producing polystyrene beehives
for the Apipol Regional Beekeepers Association in Cracow.
In 1995, Marian's
grandson, Tomasz, transformed the family business into a company called ŁYSOŃ.
Today LYSON GROUP is a
whole complex of ventures related to beekeeping. It deals not only with the
production of polystyrene hives, beekeeping equipment, but also with the
processing of natural bee products. Promoting knowledge about bees, healthy
lifestyles and environmental protection, this is the goal for the near future.
Charismatic and open-minded. From his
grandfather he inherited a passion for innovation and he implements solutions for some impossible to combine. Privately, a lover of antique
cars. He organized rallies with Fiat 126p in support of bees. He perfectly
combines his passions with family life. He also cares about interpersonal
relations within the company and in his dealings with business partners. He
received a special award in the international competition for Entrepreneur of
The Year organized by EY Entrepreneur Of The Year.
LYSON APIARY MORE THAN JUST HONEY
In 2004, we decided to expand the Lyson group with company, LYSON APIARY. It operates as a partnership between Tomasz Lyson and his sister, Katarzyna. Here, too, we are faithful to Marian Lyson vision, so we are constantly developing our assortment, experimenting and exploring new possibilities.

Quality
The highest quality and care for our customers are a key element in the strategy of our operation. The entire product development process is based on the HACCP system and the principles of good practice.
This system has been developed and implemented at all stages of production - that is, from the apiary through the adoption of the raw material and its processing until the sale of the product.
All our honey before spilling is examined at the State Veterinary Institute in Puławy.
We also have the "Doceń Polskie" certificate and the Marshal of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship for the nationwide promotional competition “Agro Polska” has nominated us.
Staff
It is thanks to our employees and their commitment that we can constantly develop and care for the highest quality of our products.
Thanks to constant improvement of professional qualifications and participation in courses and trainings, they develop their skills and deepen their knowledge.
Some of them have been with us for over 15 years.
Health and education
Since 2013, we have lectures on beekeeping in kindergartens and schools, as well as during various beekeeping events.
Bees are not only honey, but also pollen, feathers, propolis and royal jelly. Regular use of them will allow us to take care of our own body, and this is precisely the knowledge and habits we try to instill in the youngest.
