Povijest i mogućnosti pčelarstva Slavonije ; The history and opportunities of beekeeping in Slavonia

U ovom Završnom radu obradila sam temu povijesti te mogućnosti pčelarstva u Slavoniji. Ljudi su se pčelarstvom na ovim prostorima bavili oduvijek, na razne načine. Tražeći hranu, u šupljinama u drveću i pukotinama stijena pronašli su pčele i za njih vrlo ukusnu hranu - med. Do meda se nije lako dolazilo jer bi pčele branile svoja staništa, pa su ljudi morali postati domišljati u tom naumu. Sa vremenom je čovjek naučio kako sam uzgojiti pčele te imati vlastiti med do kojeg se lako dolazi. Danas se pčelarstvo u odnosu na svoj početak znatno razvilo, no neki načini pčelarenja koriste se i danas. Sve traženije postaje i ekološko pčelarstvo zbog svojih specifičnih značajki. ; In this final thesis, I have addressed the history and potential of beekeeping in Slavonia. Using various methods, people have been engaged in beekeeping in these regions for centuries. Seeking sustenance, they discovered bees in tree cavities and rock crevices, where they found honey, a highly desirable food. Obtaining honey was not easy, as bees would defend their hives, forcing people to become inventive in their approach. Over time, humans learned how to domesticate bees and harvest honey more readily. Today, beekeeping has significantly evolved from its origins, but some traditional methods are still in use. Organic beekeeping is increasingly growing due to its specific characteristics.
