Sažetak
In the Republic of Croatia beekeeping is a traditional and esteemed agricultural activity. Due to different climatic zones (continental, mountainous and Mediterranean), Croatia has different conditions for the development of beekeeping, and this variety and richness of plant species allows the production of many types of honey. However, for most beekeepers in Croatia beekeeping is an additional activity. The honey production has increased significantly since the year 2010, with the highest recorded production in 2015 (11, 477 tons). The number of beekeepers in the Republic of Croatia decreased by 42% in 2018 compared to 2015, while the number of beehives decreased by 34% in the same period. Only 4% of beekeepers have more than 150 beehives, while 42% have 1 to 30 beehives. Mobile beekeeping makes it possible to achieve higher honey yields per beehive, but additionalequipment is also needed which increases production costs, estimated at EUR 1, 474.53 a year (registration, maintenance of vehicles, fuel and work required when moving beehives). In case 1 (stationary production) 16 kg of honey was produced and income of 35.97 euros per beehive was generated, while in case 2 (mobile beekeeping) 42 kg of honey was produced and income of 100.45 euros per beehive was generated.
