- The healthy and clean air, untouched nature, and the rich flora and fauna of this quaint town add an unparalleled quality to our honey, the Pećanac Family states. In each beehive, which serves as a natural laboratory, diligent bees craft masterpieces of nature.

The honey produced by the Pećanac Family is enriched with a diverse range of meadow herbs, particles of white and black pine, chestnut, buckwheat, black and white linden, and phacelia, which is known for being the most honey-bearing plant. 

- Our honey not only excels in taste but also in bolstering the functioning and protection of all human organs, enhancing mental and physical activity, boosting immunity, and providing essential energy to the body, they explain.

Their rich product assortment also includes propolis and one of the oldest alcoholic beverages, honey liqueur or 'medovača'. The Pećanac Family's website offers an array of fascinating facts about bees as well. One standout feature is the unique "dance" of the honeybees. Worker bees, upon gathering pollen and nectar from nature, return to their hives and perform a unique dance to inform their hive mates about the location of food. This dance is a prime example of animal "communication" and showcases the sophisticated social structure of bees.

This Honey Empire of the Pećanac Family in Bosanski Petrovac is not just a testament to the rich natural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina but also stands as a beacon of the harmonious relationship between nature and human ingenuity.
