We have an idea! Because today's time is hectic, full of various stimuli and information, we have a small guide to change. At least for a few days.

1. Get out into nature - come to us - we are halfway between Prague and Brno. You can exchange urban smog for fresh air and the smell of the forest in no time.
2. Take your loved one and your pet dog with you - so that you have someone to cuddle with and remind yourself how beautiful it is when you are together.
3. Get to know minimalism - you really don't need a lot of things to be happy, which you can see for yourself here. And the apiary has everything you need and nothing to disturb you.
4. If you can, turn off your phone and do a digital detox. Sit on a bike prepared by the apiary and explore. We will advise you on places that even most of the locals don't know.

We have created a space where you can just be, the rest is up to you.

The history of apiaries began many years ago with the person of my great-grandfather. When the communists nationalized his prosperous factory, his great-grandfather threw himself into beekeeping. Bees cannot be nationalized. He built several apiaries. Some with nicknames, some on wheels. When even my grandfather, who continued the tradition after my great-grandfather, stopped, I decided to turn the old apiary into a small forest cabin. And that's where it all started.
Following the example of my great-grandfather, I also added two shelters on wheels, with modern equipment, far from people and from each other. You don't have to worry about someone looking into your bedroom windows, sauna, or hot tub under the stars.

The experience will be yours and only yours.

The idea that started it all was our Old One. Know that in this name is hidden all our love and care for a secret shelter from the world.

But pretty neat...

OLD
These are the roots. It is here that old times will breathe upon you and you will feel as if you are hiding in your grandfather's cottage. And because we wanted it to retain its original charm and spirit, we beautified it in our own way. You will find an old stove here, and for an extra charge you can warm your bones in a sauna under century-old trees. Otherwise, we also built such a "crazy" bathtub in the open air. So don't hesitate to treat yourself to a unique experience in the form of a hot bath under the stars.
This cottage is the only one that has a direct source of water from a well.

GREEN & BLACK
And these are our two new additions. Such twins. The only thing that differentiates them is the colors of the window frames. You guessed it, one is green and the other is black. But inside they are exactly the same, minimalistic. And there's one more thing that sets them apart - and that's location. The green hides in a small grove of deciduous trees and slender white birches. The black one, on the other hand, nestled next to the massive fragrant conifers.

All our apiaries have:
- electricity from solar panels
- bathroom with sink and shower
- warm water for showering and washing dishes
- dry toilet
- wood stove
- gas stove for cooking with a gas bomb
- equipped kitchenette

Btw, all the cottages are far enough from each other that you have enough privacy and don't run into anyone if you want.

AND SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. You are in nature and you need to behave accordingly. Avoid noise and unfriendly behavior.
2. Bee Green & Black has a limited source of water and electricity. The water is sized to last 2 people for 3-4 days.
3. Electricity is recharged from solar panels and its amount depends on the weather. The ideal is minimal switching on of the refrigerator and a gentle approach to the use of other energy-intensive appliances.
4. In case of any malfunction or if you do not know how to do it, please do not hesitate to call or write to me.

Sooo, and we'll leave it up to you to build an adventurous menu. As well as its execution and journey from the plate to the belly. The houses are equipped with a small gas stove, on which you can prepare a quick snack. In addition, you can count on basic equipment such as dishes, pots, pans, but also tea, coffee, oil, salt, pepper.

There is also a small grill and an outdoor fire pit where you can roast marshmallows. But we would also try it with an apple and other classics, such as burritos ;)

Of course, we will be happy to take care of the satisfaction of your tummies. If you are interested, just arrange breakfast with us in advance and we will deliver it to your door every morning.

We deliberately hid these houses of ours in solitude. Away from people so you can finally switch off for a while and be alone. In pairs, in threes or even alone. And because they're hidden the way they are, you don't have to meet anyone all day.

But while you're here, we definitely recommend it:

Želiv Monastery - Monastery Brewery - Trčkův Castle
You don't need to sign up to any order to visit this historical gem, which is more than 870 years old. Yes, the famous artist Santini himself "washed" his fingers in this artistic gem, so get ready for breathtaking baroque beauty. They've been around for hundreds of years, but they also have their own website, so check them out to find out what's going on right now. And you can order a tour right away.
While you're here, it would be a sin not to visit the monastery restaurant and brewery. If you would like to experience a tour of the monastery in an unusual way, there are also night tours by candlelight.

We connect:
- swimming in a nearby river (even naked when no one sees you).
- Manor pond
- Calvary Chapel of the Finding of St. Crosses in Želiva
- Bell
- many places to swim
- beautiful valley around the Želivka and Trnávka rivers, full of forests and meadows

What else can you find here:
- fitness in the form of chopping wood
- fireplace with seating for evening snuggling by the fire
- headlamps and flashlights if you decide on a fun night trip
- 2 bicycles (spring - autumn) for rides around the area are already included in the price
- you can also rent a Vespa for a fee (spring - autumn)
- binoculars for inconspicuous observation of animal neighbors or the night sky
- Board Games
- sauna and "flying" bath in Staré and outdoor hot tub and sauna in Zelené (for a fee).

Although our little houses are not fully adapted for little ones, feel free to take them with you. Anyway, the older they get and the more firmly they stand on their own two feet, the better off they will be here.

In our opinion, the biggest attraction is undoubtedly the surrounding nature. And it doesn't matter how you choose to explore it together. Or you can leave it to your little ones and who knows, maybe they will come with a face full of enthusiasm to show off some miraculous treasure they have discovered, with hands full of mushrooms or with a face smeared with raspberries :)

We recommend turning off your mobile phone, but you can work from here if you want - we have a 4G signal and have already verified that work video calls work well from here.
