Čebelarstvo Dremelj Beekeeping in Slovenia

For centuries, Slovenia has been a land of bees and honey, and few families embody this tradition as deeply as Čebelarstvo Dremelj. With four generations of dedication to apiculture, we proudly continue the legacy of sustainable beekeeping in Slovenia, combining traditional knowledge with modern, eco-friendly practices. Our work is rooted in respect for bees, nature, and the heritage of the Carniolan bee, one of the country’s national treasures.

At Čebelarstvo Dremelj, we specialize in two main areas: the breeding of high-quality Carniolan queens (Apis mellifera carnica) and the production of honey and honey-based products. Both processes are complex, precise, and require years of expertise – and both are at the very heart of our farm’s identity.

Queen breeding – precision and work in the beekeeping tradition

The breeding of queens is a demanding procedure that passes through several key stages. Our farm is highly specialized in this area, producing Carniolan queens that are prized across Europe and beyond for their outstanding traits. These queens are known for:

• their calm and gentle temperament,
• excellent hygienic behavior,
• strong vitality and productivity,
• genetic purity,
• low tendency to swarm,
• and consistent honey yields.

By carefully selecting the best genetic lines, we ensure that our queens contribute to healthier, stronger colonies, which are essential for successful beekeeping in Slovenia and elsewhere. Every queen is raised under controlled conditions, with a focus on preserving the Carniolan bee’s unique characteristics.

Honey is much more than just a sweetener. It is a product of harmony between bees and nature, and at Čebelarstvo Dremelj, we treat it with the respect it deserves. The production of honey is a complex and multi-stage process, from collecting nectar to processing and careful storage. On our farm, we follow this journey with great care, ensuring that the honey retains all of its natural qualities.

We use sustainable and ecological beekeeping practices. This means we do not use harmful chemicals or pesticides on the plants in our area, guaranteeing that our honey is pure, healthy, and environmentally friendly. Each jar reflects the biodiversity of our landscapes and the tireless work of our bees.
