Prominent in my family history, including the professional one, is the figure of my grandfather—he instilled in me a passion for beekeeping and mechanics. As a child, I would often come to his workshop and help him. In a way, it all started there. My grandfather was versatile and very hard-working. He worked as a locksmith, gardener, farmer, and beekeeper. I was very much impressed by him. When graduating, I decided to use my grandfather's potential and develop what he had started—the production of polystyrene hives in the backyard garage. At the age of 19, I took over the company. My father gave me the freedom to operate. He had learnt this attitude in his family home because his grandfather acted the same. I remember the conversations that motivated me so much: “Just give it a shot, see how it goes”, and then they saw that it actually worked. I have always had a lot of support from my family, and interpersonal relationships are very important to me. I try to cultivate them not only at home, but also in my professional contacts. Many of my business partners and distributors are my friends. In business, I also count on the support of my siblings and my wife. I do not work within a strict time schedule, I love what I do, and I do it with passion. I am thinking about the plans and development of the company, the next Apimondia, the creation of new product groups. I would like the Łysoń company to maintain the position of a global leader in beekeeping equipment.
All the same, harmony is important to me. I believe that we should also devote time to family and our passions. Apart from beekeeping, I am also passionate about classic cars. I often manage to combine both passions—my wife and daughters got bitten by the same automobile bug, and I sometimes take them on a ride in a vintage car. Together, we create a harmonious, strong and happy beekeeping family and I am proud of it. This is the strength and inspiration behind the operation and development of the company.
