Sažetak
According to the number of honeybee colonies, as well as the number and size of beekeepers, Croatia is ranked 12th while the production of 2, 900 tons of honey per honeybee colony classified us among the countries with the lowest average production. A survey of 850 beekeepers showed that the largest number of respondents have 6-30 years of experience in beekeeping and possess more than 60 honeybee colonies. Their products are sold on the doorstep (over 60% of respondents). The highest average production was 29.54 kg (eco-honey), regarding 23.82 kg per honeybee colony (conventional). The prices of multiflowered honey ranged from 18 to 80 kunas/kg (conventional), or 30 to 65 kunas/kg (ecological). The average price for uniflower eco honey was 33, 25 kunas/kg, and 28, 86 for conventional. The cost of production per unit ranged from 30 to 750 kunas (ecological production) and 17 to 991 (conventional), but respondents didn´t include their own work and depreciation in the costs calculation (only energy and materials). According to the research sample, it can be concluded that ecological production is carried out by very few beekeepers (13 out of 850 respondents), which shows unused potential. Most conventional beekeepers as the main reasons for not entering the ecological beekeeping mentioned good current production and honey prices as well as insufficient incentive price of eco-honey. If they don´t transfer to ecological beekeeping, they would most likely produce honey with pollen, bee poison, honey in the honeycomb and then propolis. The biggest economic differences between conventional and ecological beekeeping are in sales channels and the average cost.
