    Theory and practice

You set up your own apiary and are responsible for the care of your own healthy hives, so you’ll quickly grow into the role of a competent beekeeper!

    Our beekeepers explain – step by step – how to keep bees and produce honey throughout the season. We discuss the suitable beekeeping methods we use ourselves and treat all topics with an open mind. You’ll soon be rewarded with large amounts of honey to savour!
