Mach’s Beehouse in Krušlov

Krušlov is a small village in the Strakonice region, where beekeeper and carver Josef Mach created a singular work of folk artistry. He devoted his entire life not only to living bees, but also expressed his love for them through his carving craft. The beehouse contains 65 artistically crafted hives—some carved depicting folk arcOpen from June to October, according to opening hours.hitecture, others painted. Josef Mach decorated the interiors with countless carvings featuring beekeeping personalities, local landmarks, and monuments of our homeland. Construction of the beehouse began in 1948. So the beehouse is now over sixty years old, and because of that a reconstruction and essential repairs of the decaying structure were necessary. To support this effort, the civic association Krušlovský včelín, o.s. was founded, aiming to preserve this place for future generations.
