The possibility of safe shipping of live bees is provided as part of the Pocztex service. It was designed with attention to every detail in order to provide insects with optimal conditions. Special marking of packages, recommended packaging ensuring adequate ventilation and access to water are just some of the standards introduced.
– We are the only company in Poland that officially provides bee transport services. Our priority is to do it well and reliably – says Sebastian Mikosz, president of Poczta Polska.
Collaboration with experts for the highest standards
The development of service procedures was designed in cooperation with experts from the Polish Association of Bee Queen Breeders. Monika Leleń, an expert from the Association, emphasizes the importance of the new service: - There are nearly 100,000 registered beekeepers in Poland. Thanks to high standards of bee transport, we support the development of apiaries and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity .
Priority: safety
With bee safety in mind, sorting workers and couriers have undergone special training. Parcels are accepted from Monday to Thursday to avoid the risk of being left in warehouses on weekends, and special places for bee transports have been designated in postal forwarding and distribution hubs.
Polish Post for biodiversity
Bees pollinate around 70% of the world's food crops, making them essential for agriculture and horticulture, and therefore for global food security. Sebastian Mikosz adds: - As Poczta Polska, we are proud to contribute to the protection of bees and better cooperation between beekeepers across the country.

About bees
Honeybees in Poland play an invaluable role in maintaining the health and balance of our natural environment. Their work goes far beyond honey production. Hundreds of plant species from which we make food, including crops, vegetables, medicinal plants or herbs, shrubs and fruit trees, depend on pollination by bees.
The importance of bees for biodiversity and ecosystems is enormous. They pollinate crops and wild plants, which helps maintain healthy and diverse ecosystems.
Bees are very hardworking and can visit thousands of flowers in a single day. They form precisely organized communities in which each bee has specific tasks – from collecting nectar, through making honey, to caring for larvae and the queen.
Unfortunately, honeybees worldwide face numerous threats, including climate change, habitat loss, disease, and agricultural pesticide use. All of these can harm their health and reduce their populations.
By introducing the safe transport service for bees, Poczta Polska is showing its commitment to protecting these extremely valuable insects and supporting beekeeping.
