Tradition Rooted in Nature and Family
Jelko began its journey on October 12, 2012, with a clear vision: to produce high-quality honey and bee products through responsible and sustainable beekeeping. Originally founded by Jasna Jelušić, the business started with certified activity in beekeeping, honey and beeswax production.
- Family tradition and passion for beekeeping
- Natural, handcrafted products with no additives
- Responsible and sustainable practices
Heritage built on dedication
Built on a Strong Foundation
From the start, Jelko invested in high-quality equipment, modern hives, and a covered apiary to ensure lasting, sustainable production.
A Family Legacy Continues
In 2017, Dario Jelušić took over the business from his mother, proudly continuing the family’s beekeeping tradition.
Crafted with Passion and Skill
Although a chef by profession, Dario now passionately leads the family business, Jelko. His knowledge, precision, and love for bees bring new energy to tradition, making each product a blend of nature, experience, and family devotion.
Family-Run and Legally Compliant
With support from family members, Jelko follows Croatian business laws and operates as a registered VAT-paying enterprise.
Deep Roots in Slavonia
Each product reflects the family’s love for nature and their connection to the rich lands of Slavonia.

Our Vision for the Future
Jelko’s mission is sustainable growth, introducing new natural products while staying true to family values. The future is already bright — young Leo, son of owner Dario, is learning the craft with love and curiosity. Always eager to help and deeply interested in the business, he ensures that Jelko’s story will continue to thrive in the next generation.
