Pčelarstvo Aškrabić

Porodica Aškrabić iz Dramešine jedna je od onih porodica koje svojim načinom života čuvaju duh i pamćenje hercegovačkih sela. Dramešina, smještena na oko 1200 metara nadmorske visine i dvanaest kilometara od Gacka, danas je tiho selo koje oživi od proljeća do kasne jeseni. Za Aškrabiće ona nikad nije bila samo mjesto, ona je korijen, rodna kuća i zavjet. Posebno mjesto u njihovom životu zauzima pčelarstvo, kojim se Blagota i njegova porodica bave već trideset godina. Na čistim planinskim prostorima ima više od 140 pčelinjih društava, okruženih cvijetom, polenom, vodom, suncem i čistim planinskim vazduhom. Kvalitet njihovog meda potvrđe je i brojnim medaljama i nagradama. Oko porodične kuće rađaju jabuke, kruške i šljive, a bašta daje plodove koji na sto stižu iz sopstvenog dvorišta. Kod njih se njeguje ono najvrednije - domaće, prirodno i proizvedeno rukama domaćina. Aškrabići svoju ljubav prema Dramešini prenose i na djecu, koja se rado vraćaju rodnom ognjištu i čuvaju vezu sa zavičajem. A ko dođe u Dramešinu, ne dolazi samo u selo, dolazi kod domaćina, tamo gdje su vrata otvorena, a priroda dio porodičnog života. Dramešina tako postaje priča o pčelama, voću, zemlji, domaćoj hrani i ljudima koji znaju da se korijeni ne zaboravljaju.

The Aškrabić family from Dramešina is one of those families whose way of life preserves the spirit and heritage of Herzegovina’s villages. Located at an altitude of approximately 1,200 metres, just twelve kilometres from Gacko, Dramešina is now a peaceful village that comes to life from spring until late autumn. For the Aškrabić family, however, it has never been just a place. It is their roots, their ancestral home, and a legacy they are determined to preserve. Beekeeping holds a special place in their lives. Blagota and his family have been keeping bees for thirty years. Surrounded by pristine mountain landscapes, they care for more than 140 bee colonies, enjoying an abundance of wildflowers, pollen, fresh water, sunshine, and pure mountain air. The exceptional quality of their honey has been recognised with numerous medals and awards. Around their family home, apple, pear, and plum trees bear fruit, while their vegetable garden provides fresh produce that goes straight from their own land to the family table. Here, what matters most is cherished and preserved: homemade, natural food, produced with care and by their own hands. The Aškrabić family also passes their love for Dramešina on to their children, who eagerly return to their ancestral home and maintain a strong connection with their roots. Anyone visiting Dramešina discovers much more than a quiet mountain village. They are welcomed into a family home where hospitality comes naturally, doors are always open, and nature is an inseparable part of everyday life. Dramešina is, above all, a story of bees, fruit trees, fertile land, homemade food, and people who understand that no matter where life takes you, you should never forget your roots.
