Čebelarstvo Cvet (Beekeeping Cvet) works in central Slovenia, close to the Slovenian Beekeeping Centre. The primary role of the breeding facility is the breeding of bee queens. We exercise the task of breeding in an expert manner and with great dedication to our work. We believe that the selection work and the accuracy of queen bee breeding in all procedures is of high importance.

Mitja Nakrst, the head of our beekeeping centre, has received expert education and worked at the Slovenian Institute of Chemistry and the Faculty of Agriculture and Live Sciences in Maribor, where he graduated with a beekeeping topic in the field of purity of the Carniolan honey bee and the quality of queen bees. His mentor was the renowned expert and scientist Prof. Dr. Aleš Gregorc.

We are happy to collaborate with local and foreign experts as well as local beekeepers. We are confident that the exchange of opinions and the contact with our clients is extremely important, as it contributes to mutual progress.

Our most important task is to care for bee colonies in the selection and breeding beehives and for the hives in our breeding stations.

We offer our queen bees to local and foreign beekeepers. We have successfully exported them to most of the European countries. When exporting queen bees abroad, we are very diligent in preparing queen bees for logistics and preparing the accompanying documentation. The individual communication with the client enables us to avoid uncertainties and dissatisfaction of clients.

We invite you to come and see us and put our queen bees to the test. We offer you a long-term collaboration in this noble activity that is beekeeping.
