By relevance in Croatia, right after acacia and linden follows chestnut forage, which is why it is recognised by beekeepers, especially the migratory ones, and why the area of Banovina represents the most important chestnut habitat in Croatia. Since there is no management model for bee forage, the one which implies equal distribution of bee colonies when it comes to every individual forage area, forage often doesn`t get fully used. Therefore, research goal was to set up the basics for bee forage management and thereby improve on usability of natural resources in certain area, that is to estimate the capacity of chestnut forage in Prolom hunting ground while keeping in mind surface of chestnut forest and number of bee colonies. The number of beekeepers in the mentioned area was verified, as well as the number of settled bee colonies. Daily nectar intake has been monitored by an electronic scale placed under control unit. Quantities of honey extract were obtained using data received from every beekeeper that moved his hives to researched area. Likewise, for research purposes, surfaces under chestnuts have been identified based on information obtained from local forestry. Research results show that the biggest amount of hives is located in Osoje (1140) with an average amount of 7,30 hives/ha, while a smaller amount exists in Kobiljak (47) with an average amount of 0,64 hives/ha.
