Beekeeping is highly developed in Croatia. Annual honey production of Croatian beekeepers ranges between 7000 and 8000 tons, which fully meets the needs of Croatian customers. Lean manufacturing is a modern method of production whose basis lies in understanding of what represents value for the customer, and focusing the key processes in the production on constantly increasing customer value while eliminating production losses. The main goal of the final paper was to analyze the beekeeping production and bee behavior within the hives in order to identify aspects where Lean manufacturing tools such as the elimination of waste, standardized work, Kaizen, Heijunka, Just in Time and Six Sigma can be applied. It was found that Lean manufacturing tools are applicable to all aspects of beekeeping production, they allow complete control of quality and production process. Implementation of Lean manufacturing is oriented exclusively to the production processes of beekeeping production, therefore it is considered that the application of this model can not prevent the impact of adverse weather conditions on production output.
