New meeting of beekeepers at Puljane
Beekeepers from the broader Krka River area will learn about the technology of breeding queen bees

The twenty-third Meeting with Local Residents will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2025 at 11 am in the conference hall of the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane.

The topic of the meeting is "The selection and technology of breeding queen bees for personal needs", and it will be presented by Miroslav Antolčić, owner of a registered family farm from Velika Gorica. As an active member of the Turopolje Beekeeping Association, the Croatian Apitherapy Society, and the Association of Breeders of Selected Queen Bees of Croatia, with many years of beekeeping experience, Antolčić is particularly dedicated to the selection and breeding of queen bees, which are a prerequisite for strong and healthy hives.

Antolčić was introduced to the wonderful world of bees through a tradition of beekeeping and honey production, which has been ongoing in his family since 1935. Honey and honey-based products from his family business based on the principles of excellence have received numerous awards and recognition for the highest quality, which goes to confirm the knowledge and skills passed down from generation to generation. Of the approximately four hundred bee colonies that Antolčić owns, most are intended for the production of honey, as well as other bee products: propolis, honeycomb honey, pollen, royal jelly, pure beeswax, but also for the breeding of selected queen bees, which is the topic in focus at this meeting.

The 23rd Meeting with Local Residents will bring together residents who live and work in the broader Krka River area. Participation in the meeting is free for all interested parties.
