The love of bees was born many years ago in the Žvikart family from Konjice. As early as 1956, the father Franc was given a very prestigeous beekeeping title of a skilled beekeeping worker, and exactly 50 years later his son Aleksander added to this with a noble title of a beekeeping master. The Žvikart Beekeeping is the only one in Slovenia holding both titles.

From humble beginnings to honey masters

From a few amateur beekeeping families, the father and the son developed their bee mission to around 350 hives. Most of their bees graze in the unspoiled nature in the vicinity of the famous Žiče Charterhouse.
