Apikunst - the art of bees
The company Apikunst (formerly known as Kunstelj) is a manufacturer and distributor of protective beekeeping equipment (jackets, overalls, headgear, gloves), honey extractors, drives for honey extractors, honey storage containers, bee products and miscellaneous beekeeping items for nearly 30 years.
Our vision is to ease the work of beekeepers by supplying them with quality beekeeping equipment which enables long-term and simple use, as we believe they do one of the most important jobs in terms of sustaining the world's ecosystems – caring for bees.
Company Kunstelj started manufacturing beekeeping equipment in 1991. At the beginning we manufactured mainly beekeeper's protective garments as the assortment of such products was poor at the time. As time went on, we increased the assortment and quality of our products and the company was becoming well known.
The clients started asking for other kinds of products so in the year 2000 we produced our first honey extractor.
After Apimondia 2003 in Ljubljana where we showcased our products, our company became known abroad as well and we started cooperating with foreign companies, supplying them with smaller extractors, protective garments and hand gears for honey extractors. In this period we also started wholesaling beekeeping equipment and our products were more frequently introduced in markets abroad.
In 2009 we participated again in Apimondia, this time in France. During years of presence on the market, our company has established regular cooperation with many companies on the domestic market as well as abroad.
Nowadays, beekeeping helps us regularly experiment with new products and test their quality. Good communication with fellow beekeepers regularly leads us to new ideas and the development of new products. Because of such progress, beekeeping is becoming more and more frequent in our activities.We believe that constant care for the quality of our products is a guarantee for the satisfaction of our customers.
