I Beekeeping in Slovenia, a way of life, is inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The commemorative banknote depicts the Carniolan honeybee, a native Slovenian bee species recognizable by its gray-brown color. Bees form a family consisting of a queen, workers, and drones. In Slovenia, they live in AŽ hives, placed in traditional Slovenian apiaries. On the right side is a design for a protected standardized jar for honey and bee products of Slovenian origin. The jar has a distinctive bottom with a relief of the Carniolan honeybee. Slovenian honey with a protected geographical indication, which is placed inside the jar design, guarantees traceability, origin, and controlled quality. It can be recognized by a sticker with the European quality mark. The whole design emphasizes the close connection between natural and cultural heritage and the long-standing tradition and quality of Slovenian beekeeping.
