# Beekeeping and Honey Production on Krk

> Beekeeping (pčelarstvo) on Krk has a long tradition supported by the island's rich Mediterranean flora — sage, rosemary, lavender, chestnut, acacia, and various wildflowers providing diverse nectar sources that produce distinctive honeys. Krk-produced honey, particularly sage honey (kadulja honey, the most prized variety) and chestnut honey, is recognized as a high-quality regional product with characteristic flavors reflecting the island's plant diversity. Active beekeeping continues today both as continuing traditional practice and as boutique-quality production for heritage and tourism markets, making honey one of the more economically viable traditional Krk products in the contemporary economy.
