The museum\u2019s exhibits include information about the important personalities that characterised the development of beekeeping (among others, Anton Jan\u0161a (1734\u20131773)<\/strong><\/a>, the pioneer of modern apiculture), and there is a large collection dedicated to beekeeping tools and techniques. The museum provides an insight into typical bee habitation, describes the meaning and symbolism of bees, and acquaints visitors with a vast range of beekeeping literature.<\/p>\nThe museum\u2019s greatest exhibit is the extensive collection of decorative beehive frontal panels. These panels are specific to Slovenia only and are a true speciality of Slovenian folk culture.<\/p>\n
Part of the permanent exhibition is dedicated to the life of the Carniolan bee (Apis mellifera carnica Pollman<\/em>), an indigenous Slovenian bee species that is considered part of the country\u2019s natural heritage. Visitors can also see a Carniolan grey bee family in the observation hive from May to October, which is a particularly special experience.<\/p>\nThe museum also showcases many trades that have evolved around beekeeping, such as candle-making and honey bread making (lectarstvo<\/em>).<\/p>\n\nThe Museum of Apiculture in Radovljica is the only specialised authorised national museum in Slovenia. A visit to the museum is a great opportunity to become fully acquainted with the rich history of beekeeping in Slovenia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>
