It would be difficult to find a country so close- ly associated with beekeeping as Slovenia. It is marked with brilliant names from the beekeep- ing world and with a Carniolan bee and almost every Slovenian village adorns at least one beehive. There are about 10,000 beekeepers in Slovenia, which puts... our 2-millions-nation in the very top. Beekeeping means following bees, adapting to the lawfulness of their lives and turning this ability of coexistence to ourselves. In this ency- clopaedic book on bees and beekeeping, Ivan Esenko presents the bee family and the life in the hive, describes the Carniolan bee, Slovene beehives, the breeding of queens, beesfriend- ly gardens, products related to beekeeping and many other attractions. The monograph is equipped with more than 500 photographs and it is intended for all bee- keers and all people who respect the bees.
