The production of honey and honey
products began to develop more intensively in the area of Daruvar
from 1935, and the first beekeeping association “Bagrem” was
founded in 1974. Today, beekeeping of Daruvar counts up to 100
beekeepers and honey producers with approximately 10.000 beehives.
Honey is the product of bees, a
naturally sweet food that bees create by processing nectar and
honeydew. Since ancient times, honey has been considered the most
perfect product of nature. Everyone knows the healthy properties that
honey contains, but most do not know that almost all of the elements
that make the human organism are contained in honey.
Through its
work, the beekeeping association “Bagrem” has always worked for
the benefit of bees and beekeepers, and they extinguish themselves by
good spring development of their bee communities. The most common
honey of this area is top quality acacia honey that is used for
problems with the circulatory system, for congestion, it strengthens
the nerves and helps with restlessness and insomnia. One part of the
acacia honey production is sold on the European market by the
beekeepers of Daruvar.
Local beekeepers initiated the first
form of branding the products, the certificate for honey from the
area of Bjelovasko-bilogorska County, acacia honey, which got the
name “Zlatna nit” or Golden Thread.
The Association has been organizing
a day of honey called “Dan meda” for over 10 years. It takes
place in the beginning of December, and during the manifestation
honey from the area of the association is donated to kindergartens,
and also various bee product specialties’ are shared with the
people of Daruvar. In the area of Daruvar, smaller quantities of
flower and lime honey are also produced.
