APICULTURE AND FRUIT GROWING EDUCATIONAL CENTER AT FARA BY PREVALJE

The center is located in a peaceful and idyllic place next to the church of Virgin Mary, by the lake. You can take a look at a typical Slovenian beehive with a classroom, consisting of panel hives and AZ hives with child motives, and a hotel for insects. Next to the beehive there is a hayrack which can accommodate up to twenty visitors. The context is extended by an orchard where trees of old fruit species are planted. They provide opportunities for education about cultivation, care, planting and pruning of fruit trees.

Within the scope of the educational center there is a flower-herb garden consisting of twenty beds and more than fifty different species of flowers, herbs, and aromatic plants. A great emphasis is placed on melliferous plants. Each plant is decorated with a label displaying botanical data: Slovenian and Latin names, family and flowering season, blossom color and level of honey production. The garden is abundant in plants where bees can harvest pollen and nectar during the pasture season.

The educational center is intended for visits by school and adult groups as well as for performing various workshops. Upon visit you will see the bee family, a beehive with its surrounding area, a flower-herb garden, and the Nature Touch Products of the Hudobnik Farm. Upon agreement, the degustation of herb spreads can be prepared.
