General information about Petro Prokopovych's Grave (Palchyky)

The grave of scientist-beekeeper Petro Prokopovych is located on the outskirts of the village of Palchyky, where he opened a beekeeping school in 1830, previously founded by him in the neighboring village of Mytchenky.

Prokopovich is considered the founder of rational beekeeping and the inventor of the modern frame beehive.

A monument to Petro Prokopovych was erected on his grave in Palchyky in 2008, but the original sculpture was soon stolen. Two tombstones have been preserved (Prokopovych's successor Stepan Velykdan is buried nearby), a beautiful entrance has been equipped, and two beautiful gazebos have been built.

Могила вченого-бджоляра Петра Прокоповича знаходиться на околиці села Пальчики, в якому він у 1830 році відкрив школу бджільництва, раніше засновану ним у сусідньому селі Митченки.

Прокопович вважається основоположником раціонального бджільництва та винахідником сучасного рамкового вулика.

Пам'ятник Петрові Прокоповичу на його могилі у Пальчиках було встановлено у 2008 році, проте оригінальну скульптуру незабаром вкрали. Збереглися дві могильні плити (поряд похований наступник Прокоповича Степан Великдан), обладнано гарний під'їзд, збудовано дві гарні альтанки.
