Dol, kameni pčelinjak - Dol. stone appiary
Apiary is evidence of the once rich and various economic life in Dol. It dates back to the 16 th century whilst honey was produced until the end of 20th century. It is located on the property of Gospodnetić Martinović family. Such method of beehive construction is considered unique and is a remnant of an old Mediterranean cultural tradition. Beehives are made of stone plates and joined with a mixture of lime and soil. They are covered with a small roof removable to enable the extraction od wooden slats close to which bees were making honeycombs rich with honey. At the locality were found about 100 stone beehives.
Pčelinjak je dokaz nekadašnjeg bogatog i raznovrsnog gospodarskog života u Dolu. Datira još iz 16. stoljeća, dok se med proizvodio do kraja 20. stoljeća. Nalazi se na imanju obitelji Gospodnetić Martinović. Takav način gradnje košnica smatra se jedinstvenim i ostatkom je stare mediteranske kulturne tradicije. Košnice se izrađuju od kamenih ploča i spajaju mješavinom vapna i zemlje. Pokrivene su malim krovom koji se može skinuti kako bi se omogućilo vađenje drvenih letvica u blizini kojih su pčele gradile saće bogato medom. Na lokalitetu je pronađeno oko 100 kamnih košnica.
