> MUSEUM OF APICULTURE IN RADOVLJICA is placed in the baroque manor house in
the old part of the town. It displays an essential part of Slovenian history
and culture in general – the rich tradition of beekeeping. This was the most
intense in the 18th and 19th and it represented a rather important rural
branch. The most typical beehives are exhibited in the technical part of the
museum. The life and the work of our indigenous honeybee called the Grey Bee
of Carniola can be observed in the biological room. In summer the behaviour
of the honeybee can be watched live, too. The artistic part houses the great
chapter in the realm of Slovene folk culture – the illustrated beehive front
boards.
