From our apiary
Knowledge
How bees make honey, why honey sets and what we do for biodiversity. Here we share what we know.
Honey
What honey is, how bees make it, what we do as beekeepers and how the different kinds of honey come about.
Beeswax
Where beeswax comes from, what it is used for, and how we collect and process it in our apiary.
Biodiversity
Orchard meadow, wild gardens and hedges: what we do on our land for biodiversity in the Mostviertel.
Storing and enjoying honey
Why honey sets, how to make it liquid again, and how to store it so it tastes as good as on the first day for a long time.
Why our bees live in red towers
Designed by us, built by us and painted volcano red: how our beehives come about and why they gave our apiary its name.
Looking back
At the end of every beekeeping year we look back. What went well, what we built, and what we will do differently next year.
