You can take a private tour of our apiary with me as the beekeeper. You will also have the opportunity to see the small honey house with the equipment used to extract the honey and what is needed to keep bees. In a nutshell, you will see what beekeeping entails and that it is not a completely simple job. Of course there is the possibility of tasting and buying flower and possibly forest honey from the yard. If we still have some, don't miss the tasting of our delicious mead, to which you are cordially invited.
We have been keeping bees for more than 35 years. We hold Saturday all day beekeeping classes in May https://www.vcelarskekurzy.cz and there are more vehicles on the property these days so the property may be unavailable. Personal beekeeping website: https://vcelar.miloslavholas.cz
The bees work from early morning to evening, busily carrying pollen and nectar to their dwelling. It is advisable not to stay directly in areas of bee flight activity and in front of the apiary (especially when it is sultry), there is the possibility of being stung. But usually there is no problem, right in the place we live.
A proper stingless bee has fenistil-gel :-)
For the first trip we can visit nearby Ratibořice with the new Red Bridge over the river Úpa or Havlovice with the ruins of Vízmburk Castle.
We look forward to seeing you...

IMPORTANT: The garden is accessed immediately by exiting the main road. Therefore, do not turn off onto the side roads anywhere in the village - there are really narrow roads and it is very difficult to get off them. The surface of the exit/entrance is paved with concrete paving in the upper half. Down in the garden you can turn around on the paved area. The rear of the garden will have a soft surface after prolonged rainfall or from spring - to be verified on site.

More info
We spent Easter on the property with our children and dog .Everything was absolutely great .The owner was helpful in everything .The possibility of buying excellent honey and firewood .We got a map and advice on where to go on a trip and food .We got an interesting lecture about bees and honey production .The land is not fenced but for us it is not the slightest problem .The only ones who might have a problem are the owners of a "running away" or a restless dog .We enjoyed the area and definitely plan to return .Ten out of ten 🙂
Very nice land, beautifully landscaped and mowed by the owner before our arrival. On the plot garden table with benches and fireplace, electricity. The owner had a map ready for us with all the information about the surroundings and he is a beekeeper, so he explained and showed us everything, we brought home delicious mead:) The bees live on the other side of the property and we didn't even know about them. The land is hidden under the main road and is not fenced, so we had to watch the dog a bit, we were unlucky that there was a detour, so there was quite a lot of traffic, but it certainly didn't spoil our impression and we had a great time!:)
Beautiful property with apple trees and bee hives. The owner was very helpful with information and a map of the surrounding area,which is interesting to visit.He also showed us how he takes care of the bees and makes honey.The bees didn't bother us at all and the fire pit with wood was great.We would definitely recommend it.
Beautiful place with facilities. The pluses according to our taste are as follows. Mr. owner cool, takes care, but does not impose. You are on your own at the place but not secluded. Seating, fire pit and utility or drinking water available. On arrival you learn what you can and not immediately what you can not. As an added bonus, you can get pro honey and pro mead. And the possibilities for hiking in the area probably need no mention! Recommended!
Beautiful place, possibility of great trips around the area, nice owner. We learned a lot of interesting information about bees, bought excellent honey. We will definitely come back.
I will stay in: (What should I select in my case?)
