Affordable excellence: perfect bee products for everyone!
At mellifera, we believe that premium bee products should be accessible to everyone. Our commitment to quality and naturalness means that we offer you honey and other products that retain all their purity. Either as a gift or for everyday enjoyment.
The story about us
Mellifera officially began its journey in 2019, but its story goes back a few years, when the idea of creating products that connect nature and people was born. The beginnings were simple – by cooperating with local honey suppliers and caring for quality bee products. Persistence, love for nature and the desire to expand our offer soon directed us towards bigger goals. By establishing an online store, we took our passion for bees and their gift wider and enabled us to now find our products on numerous shelves and business events across Slovenia.

A HEALTHY WAY TO FEEL BETTER.
Have you ever wondered why we ingest harmful chemicals and artificial ingredients to keep our bodies healthy? We do. That's why we check every ingredient that we want to enter our body according to strict standards.
Borrowed from nature
NO COMPROMISES, CLEAR
We believe that today's most common health problems can be solved with better ingredients found in nature.
We do not add anything to change the taste, smell or color of the honey, as we want it to remain pure and natural.
#TAKE CARE OF OUR BEES
SLOVENIAN BEEKEEPING
We never collect too much honey from our hives. We always make sure that our green apiaries are far away from harmful chemicals.
Our 100% Slovenian honey carries the SMGO label (Slovenian honey with geographical indication), certified by the Beekeepers' Association of Slovenia.
The bees produce it on the carefully selected pastures of the Lendava Plains and Maribor Pohorje and Kozjansko Park.
ASK US ANYTHING.
Why are bees so important to the planet?
Every third bite of food you eat comes from bees. Without them, we would lose apples, almonds, cucumbers, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower and more if the bees disappear. And this is just one of the many consequences of losing our buzzing yellow friends.
Where do you get your bee products from?
We like to talk about procurement. All our products come from small, remote apiaries mainly in Lendava, Pohorje forests and Kozjansko park. We work with our beekeeping partners to ensure our bee products are sustainably sourced and of the highest quality. The health of the bees is always put first.
If I am allergic to bees, can I use your products?
There is rarely a connection between allergies to bee stings (bee venom) and bee products. However, in such situations, we always recommend consulting a doctor. Your safety is our number one priority.
Slovenian honey
Slovenian honey with a protected geographical indication is produced in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia. It has stricter quality criteria prescribed by the National Honey Regulations.
Slovenian honey with a protected geographical indication contains less than 18.6% water and less than 15 mg/kg HMF.
Slovenian honey with a protected geographical indication includes acacia, flower, linden, chestnut, spruce, forest and wood honey.
It can be identified by a protective label, which is pasted over the lid of the jar and contains the European protected geographical indication symbol and a serial number, which enables the traceability of each jar of honey.
In addition to the well-known origin of Slovenian honey, the protected geographical indication also guarantees a higher quality of honey.
