Along with his wife, Mladenka, his more than 30 years of experience and knowledge of bees and honey, “Mija” is our source for expertise in both finding the bees and creating a quality product according to the rich historical traditions of the region.

He spent every summer of his childhood there enjoying the beautiful nature, culture and learning from his grandparents about beekeeping.

Pero’s invaluable expertise in local customs, knowledge of the honey making process coupled with his operational and oversight makes him indispensable to our team.
