Sažetak
A recent study on organic beekeeping in Croatia was carried out in order to compare the overall Croatian situation in this sector with the conditions in neighbouring countries and Mediterranean. The results of this research are reviewed regarding the fact that organic beekeeping is one of the less represented sectors of organic agriculture, nevertheless its’ immense importance in pollination of majority of crops and spontaneous flora. Main figures about production of Croatian organic bee products are introduced mainly weighed against the related figures of Mediterranean countries. Based on available records attained from different resources, main facts on production and quantity of organic beehive products at European and Mediterranean markets are described. Moreover, methodology of production and level of compliance to respective organic standards are stressed. In light of specific Mediterranean issues (climatic, botanical, cultural and legislative diversity), special attention is given to the peculiarities of beehive products of which organic honey is mostly perceived as foremost produce. Principal concerns related to safety and quality of these products are stressed against efforts in real sector to emphasize them as effective healthy products.
