  • Summary

  • Beekeeping has a long and rich tradition in Slovenia, a country known for its exceptional honey production and beekeeping practices. Slovenian beekeeping techniques date back centuries, and the country is home to the indigenous Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica), which is highly valued for its docile nature, hardiness, and excellent honey production. It is, in fact, the second most popular bee on the planet, exported abroad and a favorite of beekeepers the world over. Slovenia has the most beekeepers per capita in the world, and launched the United Nations initiative for World Bee Day, celebrated every May 20. For this episode, I visited the Ambrožič family, which runs a beautiful beekeeping center that welcomes visitors, just a short walk from Lake Bled. Learn all about bees and the tradition of beekeeping, in Bled and throughout Slovenia.
