Klimatske promjene sve su češća tema razgovora, a sigurno je da je, nažalost, i jug Hrvatske osjetljiviji na klimatske promjene. Sve češće smo svjedoci i velikih požara, poplava, vrućina i velikih oscilacija u temperaturi. Ovoga problema svjesni su i Šibenčani.

What was this BeePathNet journey? An open door to new adventures!

Nea Propontida was, and still is, a municipality with lots of beekeepers. However there were no honey bees in urban areas till recently. The increased awareness of the people, the disappearance of bees as well as the high interest on the bee products, has resulted in increasing awareness on environmental issues, such as the quality of life in urban areas, the use of agrochemicals and their adverse effects and environmental pollution.

The bees – equal city residents of Ljubljana

The beekeeping tradition in Ljubljana and its outskirts dates back to the time of first prehistoric settlements. A bee and a beehive are on the oldest door sign in the city at the City Savings Bank (Mestna hranilnica) on Čop Street. As many as 3% of all Slovenian beekeepers with over 4500 beehives are active in the area of the City of Ljubljana and urban beekeeping is now flourishing in Ljubljana.
