I'm back in Slovenia for the second time, and while there are so many things I love about this underrated country -- their love for BEES is up there at the top.

Actually, Slovenia proposed a Bee day to United Nations and from then on May 20th is World Bee Day. On May 20th 1734 one of the most famous Slovenians was born, Anton Jansa, royal beekeper on Austro-Hungarian court and a teacher of beekeeping on a Beekeeper school founded by Maria Theresa in Vienna.

I'm a beekeeper in the UK and there is not many of us .But Im amazed 1 in 20 people do that job in Slovenia .

[@pk2068]

yes most of us are hobby beekeepers, under 30 bee hives. There is only a small number of professional beekeppers that have over 150 bee hives. Can i ask you what part of UK you are and what bee breed you are working with? The buckfast bee?

[@PNE2611]

@@pk2068 yes I work with the Buckfast Bee in farmland areas because its calm and productive but I also have hives in the lake district area which is up high and is cold wet and rainy a lot .I keep the British Black Bee for that area because its away from humans being quite aggressive and is well adapted for harsh winters. I think every country needs to be a bit more like Slovenia now though where environmental issues become more of a problem.

[@pk2068]

@@PNE2611 Did you know that our indigenous Carniola was also included rasing the Buckfest bee? Since the Carniolan Bee is indigenous here, we are not allowed to have any other races in our hives and so brother Adam knew where to find a pure Carniolan race to do his breeding experiments. I see 3 main problems regarding bees. 1. The chemic polution (pesticides, insekticides). For this reason the urban beekeeping (on the roof) in the cities is rising now, because bees are healthier in parks, rather on fields. 2. We dont care enough about bee food source. We dont plant enough honey plants and we cut the meadows before they can bloom alreday in May, instead of late July. If you have a habitat with lots of bumblebees and dragonflies, you know you have a good habitat for honeybees as well. 3. since there are a lot of beekeepers concentrated on one small place, we should all treat varroa mites simmulatenously and sistematically. If 3 of 4 treat varoa mites in July, but one in September after he comes home from Vacation, you know where the first three stand. Good luck with your bees!

[@PNE2611]

@@pk2068 that's amazing I never knew that .I learnt beekeeping of my mother and she would research a lot into brother Adam she even went to Buckfast abbey to learn more about them but she missed that information lol I'll tell her that though. But I worry the UK are in trouble coming out of Europe we might start using American pesticides .US beekeepers lose half their colony's every year and I worry what the future will hold for us. I would prefer to keep bees in Slovenia than the UK let's put it that way :).

[@tilenstravs3607]

Hey man im from slovenia and i love your vids keep it up❤

[@pk2068]

what was not mentioned is that Slovenia is the homeland of the bee breed "Apis mellifera carnica", more known an simply the Carnica or Carniolan bee. This breed was registered in year 1879 and it was masively exported all over the world, because it is known for its calmness and the fact that it does not need very much food for itself. The bad side is that it quickly swarms. One bad thing although I must say about Slovenia that you can spot from month May on. The premature mowing of flowering meadons. As a result, the bees (honebybee, wild bee, bumble bee) can not find any major food sources after chestnut tree flowered.
