Inga Skrapce: Medicine and Beekeeping Complement Each Other
Inga Skrapce, head of the Blood Preparation Department at Vidzeme Hospital in Latvia, combines her medical work with beekeeping. Both fields share care for life and a sense of responsibility.
Inga Skrapce, who heads the Blood Preparation Department at Vidzeme Hospital in Latvia, also keeps bees in her free time. The regional news outlet Ziemeļlatvija described how medicine and work with beehives come together in her life in a feature published on 3 November.
Work in medicine
At the hospital, Inga leads a department that works with blood. She knows well how much a single person's decision to donate blood can mean, since the results of such work can help save lives.
Time with the bees
On other days she is at her beehives. There she observes the unhurried rhythm of nature and enjoys the fruits of the bees' labour. Near her bee colonies she finds calm, listens to nature and learns its patience.
What the two fields share
Medicine and beekeeping are different worlds, but they have common features. Both require knowledge, precision and responsibility. Above all, they are united by care for life and satisfaction at being able to do something truly meaningful.
