    Jan Gajdacz comes from Goleszów, where he was born in 1930. After the war, he moved to Leszna Górna, i.e. to his wife's hometown. By profession, a wheelwright and carpenter joined the Goleszów Cement Works. In Leszna Górna he came across beekeeping for the first time. As he says himself, his neighbor, the owner of a small apiary, encouraged him to start his adventure with bee breeding. Soon beekeeping turned into his passion. In 1970, the construction of the "Bee Town" began. It was then that Mr. Jan decided to transform the closed quarry "Na Mołczynie", on the border of Dziegielów and Leszna Górna, into the apiary of his dreams. After several years of breeding bees in ordinary hives, he decided to build for his favorites ... hives - houses inspired by highlander architecture. In the mid-1970s, after an accident at a cement plant, Mr. Jan retired. Since then, she has been giving every moment to the "Bee Town". It is already quite well "urbanized". Bees can live and work in highlander huts, in a mill, town hall or church. And there is a lot of green around, silence - well, not complete: you can hear the buzzing of bees. Jan Gajdacz willingly shares his fascination. Therefore, he invites everyone who wants to learn something about bees and the effects of their work. He argues that the observation of these industrious insects is never boring. She also advises you not to be afraid of sharp stings. Sam, thanks for each sting, because he believes that it has a beneficial effect on his health. "Pszczele Miasteczko" is located near the border crossing in Leszna Górna. When going to the crossing, turn right just before it. The road itself will lead to this wonderful apiary.
