Did you know?

Not many people know it, but the inspiration for the creation of the tree, present in the packages of Apis Flora’s propolis-based products, came from a mural of Nabamun’s garden, of a grave in Thebes from 1,400 b.C., which today is found at the British Museum, in London. An honor to the most ancient beekeepers in the world, designed by Apis Flora’s founder, Manoel Tavares.
