Slovenia green
Concern for the environment begins with small acts – with the smallest elements of life: BEES.
Beekeeping is an extremely important part of Slovenia’s natural and cultural heritage. The efforts of Slovenian beekeepers have in recent years been directed primarily at preserving the native Carniolan bee or Carniolan grey, the second most widespread bee subspecies in the world. Slovenia is the only member of the European Union that has protected its native bee. Slovenia, homeland of beekeepers, initiate the proposal for the proclamation of World Bee Day within the framework of the United Nations.
