The famous Carniolan honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica) gathers pollen in the Mediterranean and continental regions, from the Alps to the Adriatic – an area rich in essential oils and medicinal plants. This remarkable bee is one of the oldest in the world, dating back approximately 12,000 years, and is celebrated for its hardiness, diligence, and resilience, the traits that Slovenians often identify with.

The owl, or little owl, is a symbol of wisdom. It embodies the energy and power of the subconscious, the spiritual energy of humanity and the moon, and the force of water and plant life – a latent source of immortality and a spark of divine fire within every individual. The little owl heralds something spiritual, hidden, and connected to mystery and knowledge. In Slovenian culture, it signifies the creation of the animal kingdom. The owl is a symbol of the night. For Slovenes, it also stands as a symbol of books and learning. The author’s wish is for this symbol, so deeply Slovenian yet universally resonant, to become a mark of intellectual and spiritual growth.
