The article examines the current state and prospects for the development of the beekeeping industry in Ukraine. Ukraine is known as one of the most powerful beekeeping countries in the world due to its favorable geographical location and ability to produce high-quality beekeeping products for both domestic consumption and export. In the article is emphasized the special role of beekeeping in the agroindustrial complex of Ukraine. The beekeeping industry not only produces useful food products, but also forms the raw material base for the processing industry, contributes to increased productivity and is of great importance for the product market. To achieve the goal, general scientific methods of research, such as empirical, theoretical and calculation-mathematical, were used. There was conducted a review of scientific sources, articles and publications related to the field of beekeeping, honey production and the number of bee families. This analysis provided an overview of the honey market and identified key aspects for further research. Statistical data on honey production in households, enterprises and farms, as well as data on the number of bee colonies were used to assess the state and dynamics of the development of the beekeeping industry. In addition, computational and mathematical methods were used for a comprehensive analysis of the sector's problems and prospects. The general conclusion of the article is that the beekeeping industry in Ukraine is under the influence of various factors, such as the decrease in the number of bees, climate change and external threats. The question of the mechanism of the formation and functioning of the honey market, the question of the development of market relations between producers, processors and suppliers of beekeeping products, and the economic efficiency of the production of beekeeping products require further research. The prospects for the development of the beekeeping industry lie in organic beekeeping and the use of modern technologies
