As Eastern Serbia, the City of Bor is exposed to a lot of pollution due to the development of mining, which is particularly pronounced in the urban environment, the main motive is for children and families to stay in the healthy

My mom told me, and she found out through social media (Facebook).
Within the household that owns the apiary, API chambre - the room into which it would enter - would be equipped air from the beehives, three beehives would be built into the wall of the room, and the air coming out of the beehives through the backside of one extension, would refine the air in the room and thus make the air especially healthy.
API chambre would serve to treat people who have lung problems - respiratory problems. Next to the first purpose of this API chambre, it is intended that within that room during the therapy, depending on the age of the users, organized thematic workshops. School of drawing, design, embroidery, weaving, knitting, crocheting, old and rare crafts...workshops of architecture and traditions of the Wallachian people – autochthonous population, as well as education on the protection of the human environment.
Another activity would take place in the kitchen of the same facility, where children would learn how to prepare old dishes, Wallachian dishes, which the guests would taste on the covered terrace.
The third activity at Happy Bee Farm is the organization of a small beekeeping school, a walk around the farm, with acquaintance with the flora and fauna of this region, it is possible to pick medicinal plants.
The fourth activity is health trails - hiking around the area depending on age, as well as yoga and fitness trainings.
The fifth activity intended for children is outdoor playgrounds where natural materials would be used playground for children, muddy track and old games.
The sixth activity is a tour of nearby households that keep domestic animals: cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, and introducing children to household animals.

The key goal is to get children and families out of the polluted environment of the City of Bor and to provide healing therapy for everyone in API chambre, as well as activities and organized stay in nature. Happy Bee Farm has about 50 beehives, which constitute sufficient potential for API chambre to work. Happy Bee Farm is 25 km from the city and it is located in the beautiful and clean Gornjanska plateau, bordered by the VelikiKrš, Stol, Deli Jovan mountains. Every year, from May to October, it is possible to use the air from the hives and enable the work of API chambre, and whit the percentage of sick people and children due to heavy pollution from the Zijin company is on the rise it would be a good family.
The whole concept of Happy Bee Farm is aimed at experiencing a healthy environment, without noise and harmful impact, connection with nature and domestic animals, with work in the garden and immediate activities on the farm. As well as benefits in terms of prevention and treatment of children and adults through breathing healthy air in API chamber. An active stay in nature while acquiring the necessary knowledge about nature, flora and fauna and direct contact with it, as well as its preservation. At the workshops, they would get to know the culture and traditions of the indigenous people, Vlach population. All these are areas that are less and less encountered in everyday life. This way they would combine health, education and the preservation of old values, through the preservation of a healthy environment.
Happy Bee Farm wants to provide an active vacation with health benefits in the form of healthy breathing air from the hive and direct contact with a healthy natural environment for children who are instructed to spend most of their time in polluted city environment. The number has been growing in recent years children who, due to their parents' responsibilities and work, are forced to spend time alone using the phone and computer as entertainment, drastically alienating from normal human growth and development and socialization environment. In this way, in addition to involving children in various activities in the village, an opportunity would be created to families engage in activities in nature together, and to take knowledge from such gatherings on the farm making quality memories. In order for all activities at Happy Bee Farm to be realized in the circle of knowledge included are also other agricultural farms, educational staff, sports coaches...
Happy Bee Farm was created from the "Three bees" project of the Agricultural Farm. Beekeeping, production of honey and honey products was started in 2016. After a number of successful years of production acacia and meadow honey, as well as honey products and various mixtures with honey, we have come to the conclusion that it is possible to help children and people with respiratory problems by the formation of API chambre for bee air breathing. A large number of our customers of honey and products from honey that we have gained these past 6 years, as well as their trust, gives us confirmation that a large number of people will benefit from this API chambre, both in terms of health, education and social aspects.
The significance of the formation of such a Happy Bee Farm in an extremely polluted immediate environment, makes it possible to users of API chambre will be people and children from the surroundings, the City of Zajecar, Negotin, Bor, neighboring villages, as well as a large number of tourists and mountaineers, nature lovers who visit these parts of eastern Serbia.
As this concept is interesting for different age groups and is accessible to people with different aspects, we believe that we are connecting two opposite environments, giving primacy to a healthy environment and healthy air.
If it proves to be an example of good practice, it is possible to open this concept of happy farms around every polluted environment, and it is possible to transfer the concept to other regions and even countries.
Agricultural farm "Jasna Tomić" Krivelj was registered on April 22, 2016, the main activity is beekeeping. A small family business, created as a continuation of the Radonic family's family tradition of beekeeping from the beginning of the 20th century. Complete business related to work in the apiary, spinning, packaging, promotion and sales is performed by the female part of the family, mother Jasna with her daughters Katarina and Teodora. Beekeeping with LR hives, and the number of hives increases every year. We have a honey bottling plant with a rescript from Veterinary inspections / control number 17418. Product placement is done at the doorstep, at fairs and in several retail establishments.
The latest way of selling honey in honey dispensers is a new, innovative way of marketing domestic honey at the local market which, thanks to the project "For Cultural Heritage and Tourism" of the German GIZ Foundation, enabled the products from the apiary to find the fastest and safest way to consumers. Whit an accent placed on the market of products in small packages. Honey and flavored honeys are intended for local consumption of our honey lovers and tourists.
After 6 years of development, we recognized the need to put the potential of beehives into operation health, and in this way help sick children and the population that wants to use the benefits of apitherapy in API chambre.
Combining Apitherapy, physical activity in nature, as well as getting to know the heritage of the Wallachian population in these areas, we combined it into a product that enriched the body, mind and consciousness in one day.
Happy Bee Farm is a unique farm in this region, which combines health therapy, education and physical activity in nature. The possibility of this combination being provided to different user structures adds to its value.
The greatest focus is placed on the relocation of children from the polluted city environment to nature, together with your family for a whole day or several days of physical activity, without a phone or computer, with a professional help of teaching staff and beekeepers, where they will develop respiratory organs, improve physical activity, motor skills, gain better physical condition and get to know the natural environment.
By forming such a Happy Bee Farm, multiple benefits will be achieved for all users of Apitherapy and of the entire concept in general.
Happy Bee Farm as a combination of API chambre, education and physical activity is a concept that is easy to apply to every apiary who has the necessary facilities for such a multi-creative activity, as well as convenient natural environment.
The methodology of API chambre work, the technology of the process of extracting air from the hive, as well as the production of honey and honey products itself and a small school of beekeeping can be realized at local, regional, republican level.
By providing opportunities for the development of such local multi-creative farms, standards are set in animation and treatment of children and adults combined with expert thematic lectures, which are adapted to the market.
