It has been has been deep underground in the glacier lakes for over a thousand years. Because of its purity we refer to it as the water of all waters. It is rich in minerals and has a neutral pH, thus it beneficially effects our body.

Nowadays, you will find honey and other bee product programmes in various parts of Slovenia and these will help you achieve better health and well-being. Beeswax therapy  helps to treat rheumatic and other ailments. Among other benefits it stimulates blood circulation. Be careful though, it is only appropriate for persons who are not allergic to bee stings! Inhale the aromatic air from the apiary in special api chambers and you will sense its beneficial influence upon your mental well-being.

In your endeavours to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance, you will find assistance with special programmes involving bee products, such as royal jelly, pollen and propolis.
