Creation Purpose For sale Production Quality Unknown Conecept La Moderna Apicultura was founded in May 1919 with the aim of becoming the first company in Spain dedicated to the industrial manufacture of beehives and beekeeping equipment, and it is also one of the most historic in Europe. Its creation was closely linked to King Alfonso XIII, who had a strong interest in agriculture, particularly beekeeping. The monarch commissioned his close circle to establish a company to promote the specialisation and professionalisation of beekeeping in Spain, as there were no establishments where the necessary equipment could be purchased, and beekeepers were forced to produce their own hives in a rudimentary manner.
