Experience Slovenian Apiculture and Honey
Did you know that bees must collect nectar from over a million flowers in order to make one kilogramme of pure honey? If this was to be done by just one single bee, it would have to fly the equivalent of seven times around the Earth! Do you know the difference between different types of honey? Did you know that it is necessary to add honey to bread, cakes and biscuits if you want them to turn golden during baking? At the Božnar House of Honey, a family-run beekeeping practice with a 30-year tradition of producing honey and honey products, you will find out everything about bees, Slovenian beekeeping, honey, and products refined from it. You will have the chance to experience the everyday liveliness of a beehive, recognise the smell of different types of honey, and taste some delicious honey products. And you will find out why honey has long since been considered the food of Gods!
