Our Mission Statement.
What is important to us.
We run our beekeeping as a hobby and usually keep 6 productive colonies.
We consider ourselves to be particularly affectionate with the bees. For beekeepers: Total brood removal instead of formic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid and other drugs. For laymen: manual work instead of acids and poisons for varroa control. We work carefully and traditional. For beekeepers: No uncapping line, 260 honeycomb self-turning centrifuge, wanderings which would do honor to the campaign of Caesar through Gaul. In layman's terms: few colonies mean more attention to each colony, which does not have to be squeezed out completely for the repayment of technical loans.
The welfare of our bees, the purity and taste of our honey are important to us. For beekeepers: no pressing, no honey drying, no stirring, no thawing, no pumping. For laymen: the bees are not kept close to get all the honey. No pollen is removed from the honey by too tight filtering, it is not heated or pumped or artificially dried, and it is not stirred because this produces the finely stiff uniform consistency that is supposedly preferred by most customers. Our fluid honey develops the natural crunch after some time - nowadays a rarity.
Because taste and quality are very important to us, the locations of our bees are particularly important to us. For beekeepers: The three most important criteria for an apiary: the location, the location, the location. For laymen: The location and the plants growing around it make the honey. Therefore, no highway honey and no landfill honey.
Our honey is not certified organic. It meets or exceeds many criteria, some are not so important to us. We like to explain and show this to our customers.
Our honey has a price that is understandable given our way of producing honey.
