One Day Trip to Serbia 2025

I had this amazing opportunity to be without a child for a whole day! My mother came to visit us in Yasen, combining a few days off with the birthday of our boy. She arrived on Friday late afternoon and we took her out for some delicious burgers. At the same time, Roni wrote to me asking if we wanted to go on a one-day trip to Serbia on some eco trail for a walk. I looked at my mother and she said, “GO.” I got super excited since we hadn’t had a day off for such a long time, and leaving our boy with her (I trust her completely, so I don’t stress about it) was such a relief. Saturday morning I woke up in a great mood, ready to enjoy some child-free time. Veni and I went to Vidin and bought snacks and water for the trip while waiting for Roni and her boyfriend, Ivan. Soon we were off to Serbia. I felt so good and could not wait to walk in nature. Ivan was driving alongside the Danube River and it was breathtaking – so peaceful, so beautiful: the water, the boats, the ships. We reached...

Sunday with my bees

I do not think I have shared this, but my partner and I have 153 beehives, which all started a few years ago with only 10 of them. Actually, something happened this past winter and unfortunately only 28 active hives were left this Spring. We were quite surprised because we expect some losses after every winter, however, it is usually around 10-15%, but this year was unbelievable. Now, we have managed to make them around 40 hives. We decided to change the breed with one, for which they say, is very calm.

I have to admit, I was scared to be around them even with the special outfit. With the years, around four now, I learned to work with them and now I love it. The sound they make is very calming for me, it makes me forget about everything and I just focus on taking care of them. Yesterday was the first time I’ve been bitten! Almost no reaction on my skin, which is great! Moreover, thankfully I do not have an allergy. My partner and I spent six hours with them yesterday and I felt amazing. I was so tired at the end of the day but I was so ready to see my boy, who was with his grandparents so we quickly took a shower and went to get him.

I think bees are very interesting creatures; the way they take care of their beehive and build their honeycomb is amazing. We are very lucky with the place we put them because they are next to Danube river and a small acacia forest, also there are a lot of different fruit trees and flowers.

It is a very challenging and hard to take care of bees, but I remind myself it is a good thing to do for the planet, so it helps my motivation.
