Dear guests and visitors of Donovaly, we present to you the first api-house in Donovaly! In a wholesome and healthy mountain environment, we follow the saying "Sound in body, sound in mind.", therefore we decided to put this saying into practice through apitherapy. If you are looking for a way to improve your overall health or to welcome new energy into your life and relax in the embrace of nature, Včelín pod lesom (Apiary under the forest) is the perfect choice for you.

Nowadays, there are many approaches to improve your health or lifestyle, but there are fewer that are based on natural ways. Apitherapy is a purely natural way to improve overall health. It forms part of alternative medicine dealing with the effects of bee products (honey, pollen, royal jelly, bee venom, propolis, beeswax) on a living organism. All bee products are powerful antioxidants full of vitamins and enzymes that help without the intervention of any chemicals in the human body. The effect of bee products is obtained by breathing of hive air and the activity of the bee bio-field in a special api-house. Apitherapy is a suitable form of prevention, which can be experienced either as a therapeutic or as an experiential form of relaxation.

Since only a few beekeepers deal with apitherapy in Slovakia, we will be happy to introduce you with this unique opportunity. We approached the award-winning beekeeper Petr Jánošík, who dedicated his heart and soul and many years of experience in the field. Since his childhood, Peter has lived a beekeeping life, following his father and grandfather, who passed down this beautiful mission to him.
