Who we are
About the farm
We run a family organic apiary in Studenec: we started with two colonies in 2009, have worked organically since 2013, now keep 300 colonies and rear around 1,000 Carniolan queens a year under the MS Carnica Queens name. We produce organic flower, acacia, chestnut and mixed honey, pollen and royal jelly, and since 2018 we have also tended an organic sweet chestnut orchard of over 4 ha (550 trees). From September the chestnuts can be collected from us by prior arrangement, or we send them by post on request.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
