A combination of love for nature and handmade work

We are Včelobal

several thousand kilometers on bicycles around the world, during which we were in intense contact with the ubiquitous plastic mess left by people.

collecting experiences
on travels and at work
across North America

December

we return home
thinking
"only for a few months"

2018 2019

we tell ourselves it's time to go "all in" with our time and opportunities.

We certify the production and hygiene of products. We have created our first own designs, looking for suppliers of the highest quality. Our products are reaching brick-and-mortar stores in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

2020

a week after the pandemic began, we were supposed to move to new rented premises. We remained for another 6 months in a 12 m2 room. Just me and my colleague.

2021

Our team is growing and we have produced over 100,000 pieces of packaging worldwide so far. We are successfully establishing long-term cooperation with people with physical disabilities. We also involve seniors in production.

2022

The pandemic is easing, and we are extremely happy to be able to attend events in person again.

2023

A year where we get used to a rapidly growing family and a slowdown in the work pace.

2024

We are changing the recipe and enriching it with virgin Slovak rapeseed oil. The e-shop is also getting a new look.

The environment we live in is a world we care about

We strive to help in our surroundings and believe that such activities will increase thanks to you.
