Beekeeping is part of the fabric of Slovenian culture because it
is one of the oldest and most traditional rural activities. It is
therefore no surprise that many internationally respected beekeepers
were born on Slovenian soil. Beekeepers are very fond of bees and
are especially committed to nature conservation, which is why beekeeping
is also justly referred to as the poetry of agriculture. Slovenian
beekeepers, the majority of whom are members of the Slovenian Beekeepers’
Association, are proud to continue the tradition of their compatriots.
We contribute to the preservation of the indigenous Slovenian species,
the Carniolan bee, the protection of its habitat, and the production
of beekeeping products of the highest quality. A significant part
of our efforts are dedicated to informing the general public about
the importance of beekeeping. It was to this end that we decided
to publish this web site. The web site presents various tourist and
beekeeping routes where you will be able to take a closer look at
the tourist attractions Slovenia offers and examine some of the extensive
beekeeping heritage enriched by beekeepers’ activities today. Friendly
beekeepers throughout Slovenia will be happy to open the doors of
their bee farms, where you can get to know our Carniolan bee and
the secrets of how it lives, as well as learn why the products of
Slovenian beekeepers achieve such high quality.
