Presentation of the Slow Food group of the Bihac Beekeepers (the honey of Semsudin is organic too) in Una-Sana Canton in the Northwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Beekeeping has been practiced for centuries in Bosnia. Modern beekeeping arrived in 1884 when the first beehives with movable frames were made in Bihac (not far from the famous Plitvice Lakes) and by the start of the 20th century the country had the largest number of hives per capita in Europe.

Today, all Bihac’s beekeepers produce their honey by hand and have anything from a few hundred hives down to fewer than ten. Just two are equipped for nomadism and none concentrates on single-flower honeys. The community groups a hundred or so of them and is an association pledged to spread relevant technical knowledge and improve the conditions surrounding extraction of the honey and its bottling. The Bihac Beekeepers are member of the Terra Madre network with 1.600 small Food Communities in 150 countries which is supported by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity
