A hobby beekeeper should and cannot compete with supermarket prices -

Mission:

To bring people back in touch with nature through a high quality food item and

to illustrate the interrelation of our impact on our surrounding.

 

If you are becoming a bee supporter, you will also quickly shift to a new environmental consciousness. The mass of cheap products are a driver for extensive waste and indifference. Today we have the choice to change towards a world

where life quality and responsibility becomes of key importance.

 

In Germany there is still a lack of beekeepers. With all new challenges of industrial food production, large scale obliteration of our landscape and new pests, beekeeping has become a much more risky business venture.

 

For our own long-term  survival we must finally accept ourselves as part of nature. Only then we will be able to manage to sustain a stable ecosystem that is the very basis for all processes on this planet and that is resilient enough to counter-balance high impact environmental changes.

 

A glass of honey is not to be confused with a jam-pot. If you want to get an insight how much passion, patience and time you need for producing one pot of honey, you should visit your local beekeeper and have a look over his shoulder.

 

I exclusively use organic acids (oxalic acid) for treating the Varoa mites that are legally allowed in biological honey production. No pesticides or poison are used. I try to leave the bees as much honey as they will need during winter. The bees are not transported, so no CO2 is produced. All new beekeeping supplies and materials are ordered from Imkereibedarf Bergwinkel - a carpenter's workshop that employ disabled people in the Southeast of Hessen.
