Beekeeping in the Marčić family
Sandra and Tonči Marčić keep bees in Bol, with their apiaries located above the village. In their profile for the Suncokret ruralnoga turizma award, they trace the family business back to a beehive that Tonči gave his wife. Over time, beekeeping grew into honey production and the development of their own cosmetics.
Honey, bee products and skin care
The farm combines bee products with island plants, including rockrose, known locally as bušin. Its cosmetics are presented under the Bee’s Blessing name. The national Hrvatski otočni proizvod (Croatian Island Product) catalogue lists the farm and its cosmetics production.
A direct telephone number and email address are available for information about honey, other bee products and cosmetics. The contact address is in Bol; visits and collection arrangements should be agreed with the family.
