The Apiculture Museum, Radovljica was founded by the executive committee of the Beekeepers' Association of Slovenia in response to an appeal in the journal Slovenski čebelar (Slovene Beekeeper) to collect more material on the ancient practice of beekeeping. The museum was opened in 1959 and was incorporated into Radovljica Municipality Museums in 1963. Thoroughly renovated in 1973 and again in 1996, the museum is situated in a Baroque manor house in the old part of Radovljica. It displays the rich tradition of Slovene apiculture, which was an important branch of agriculture in the 18th and 19th centuries. The technical section of the museum shows the typical habitats of bees and apicultural tools, the biological room highlights the life and work of the autochthonous bee kranjska sivka (apis mellifera carnica), and the art exhibition gallery features a unique Slovene folk art, the painted beehive panel. A copy of the apiary of the famous beekeeper Anton Janša (1734-1773) has been installed in nearby Breznica. | The Apiculture Museum, Radovljica was founded by the executive committee of the Beekeepers' Association of Slovenia in response to an appeal in the journal Slovenski čebelar (Slovene Beekeeper) to collect more material on the ancient practice of beekeeping.
