Rural Apiary Kovačević is situated in the village of Skrobotno, nestled between Trebinje and Bileća. The history of beekeeping in the Kovačević family commenced in the 1930s when Radoslav Kovačević laid its foundation.
His passion for beekeeping was passed down to his son, Petar, who not only sustained this tradition but also expanded the apiary in the 1960s. The family narrative took a new turn in the 1980s when Petar’s wife, Nada, joined him in the apiary...


When you choose a jar of honey, you're choosing more than a sweet natural product. You're placing your trust in the beekeeper who produced it.
At Rural Apiary Kovačević, that trust is supported by something very important—our organic certification.
Organic honey is not simply honey produced in nature. It is honey that is produced according to strict organic beekeeping standards and regularly inspected by an independent certification body.
Our apiary has been awarded an Organic Production Certificate by Organic Control System, confirming that our beekeeping practices meet the required standards for organic production.
This certification is not issued once and forgotten. It requires continuous compliance, inspections, detailed records, and verification that our production follows organic regulations.
When you buy our organic honey, you can be confident that:
Healthy bees produce exceptional honey.
Our apiary is located in the beautiful landscapes of Herzegovina, where bees collect nectar from wildflowers, aromatic herbs, and native plants. We believe that respecting nature is the foundation of producing high-quality honey, and our organic certification reflects that philosophy.
For four generations, our family has cared for bees with patience, knowledge, and deep respect for the natural world. Today, organic certification confirms that our traditional values are supported by internationally recognized production standards.
Anyone can say their honey is "natural."
Organic certification is different because it is verified by an independent certification body. It demonstrates that production is monitored according to established organic standards rather than relying solely on marketing claims.
For consumers, this means greater confidence in the authenticity and traceability of the products they purchase.
Receiving our organic certificate is not the end of the journey—it's an ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of beekeeping.
Every inspection reminds us of what we've always believed: the best honey begins with healthy bees, clean nature, honest work, and respect for tradition.
When you choose Rural Apiary Kovačević, you're choosing more than organic honey. You're supporting a family tradition spanning more than 100 years, sustainable rural livelihoods, and beekeeping that puts bees and nature first.
Certified Organic. Family Produced. Made with Respect for Nature.
