FROM THE TRAVEL ARCHIVES

This charming souvenir shop is located at Bled Castle in Slovenia, and it's known as Grajski čebelnjak, which translates to "Castle Beehive"
The shop specializes in bee-related products, reflecting Slovenia’s deep cultural ties to beekeeping. Slovenia is home to the Carniolan honeybee, one of the most docile and efficient honeybee breeds in the world.

Did You Know?
  • Slovenia is the first country in the world to officially protect its native bee species (Carniolan bee).

  • World Bee Day (May 20th) was proposed by Slovenia and approved by the UN to raise awareness about the importance of bees.

  10. So so lecker sieht das Essen aus liebe Veronica. Ich liebe ja die asiatische Küche und freue mich immer auch Neues kennenzulernen. Der Souvenirladen ist ja nett. So süß mit der Biene am Eingang. Ich liebe solche Läden und wäre sicherlich auch hineingegangen und hätte auch sicherlich etwas mitgenommen.

    Herzliche Grüße
    Kerstin und Helga
