In brief

The story of Pčelinjak Kovačević begins more than a century ago in the village of Skrobotno, above Bileća Lake, where the knowledge of bees and the love of them have been passed down through the generations. Petar and Nada Kovačević left their own particular mark on the apiary, developing the production together over decades, refining what they knew and widening the range of bee products. Today the family tradition is carried on by the women of the Kovačević family, and the apiary, with more than 70 hives, is one of the few in the region run entirely by women. The honey of Pčelinjak Kovačević carries organic certification, confirming that it is produced in an unspoilt natural environment. Alongside the different kinds of honey and the products made from honey, propolis and wax, the farm has worked in beekeeping tourism for years now. Visitors can taste the products, put on protective beekeeping clothing and walk the apiary together with their hosts, meet the life of the bee colony, and learn what the journey from flower to jar of honey really looks like. Here beekeeping is not presented through the product alone, but through the story, the experience, and a tradition that is still living.
