Our beekeeping journey began on a small scale in 2018. Today, we have an average of 12-16 bee colonies in our family. We produce various types of honey and beeswax for natural cosmetics - the health of our bees and the quality of our products are our top priorities.\n\nIn addition to our beekeeping, we dedicate ourselves to promoting **biodiversity** on our approximately 5 hectares of land: we plant hedges, care for our still-young meadow orchard, look after our soil, and create hiding places and habitats for plants, fungi, and animals. A fruit and vegetable garden supplies us with fresh food throughout the year. In our free time, we enjoy hiking in the forests and mountains with our dog.\n\n::ginko-layout\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j977f77re21vqppepg74ag4wvs81mv6s\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/f1894585-1d36-4b9e-b77f-1a7f77e0a6fe\" alt=\"During the honey harvest, the honey flows from the extractor into the coarse sieve\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j97fba8c58mrenb8w12g56xzvs81ntkc\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/61b4eeb0-4ffe-41fd-b429-ba6d1ccc98e2\" alt=\"Close-up of a honeybee on a Cornelian cherry blossom\" width=\"1624\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j97044vym9ajpvrq3j42kcqc8x81mdre\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/293828d1-b0f0-45a2-9bcf-3ea3c5199b13\" alt=\"Drone shot of our garden\" width=\"1673\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n::\n\n## Romi\n\n::ginko-layout\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j9747bkw7hrwa2jf0h9k2xr4ss81mmx8\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/037dcdd7-c9d8-4fe5-885d-aa04a46c46a6\" alt=\"Portrait of Romi working with the bees\" width=\"1267\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n:::ginko-column\nI am a biologist and have always loved being outdoors. During my many years working as a field ecologist, I was committed to nature conservation and researched the biodiversity of insects and arachnids 🪲🐝. Together with my parents, we moved to the countryside in 2019. Here, we grow our own fruits and vegetables and contribute to promoting biodiversity through regenerative management of our land 🌳.\n:::\n::\n\n::ginko-layout\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j972pa1m4fgc8nnpct45bvpvsx81mzz6\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/6107942a-f57d-4f83-9691-57d739fa1d79\" alt=\"Romi on a mountain summit in Nepal\" width=\"1619\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n:::ginko-column\nBeyond beekeeping, my passions are soil regeneration, my herb garden, and planting trees. When I'm not working hard in the garden, I enjoy running, hiking in the mountains, climbing, or swimming. In short: I love being active in the fresh air ☀️🏔️.

My personal planning projects include our 5000m² fruit and vegetable garden, our 3-hectare meadow orchard, our plant propagation cabinet, and - the most comprehensive planning project to date - our self-developed and custom-built beehives 🔨. At our online agency [Lupinum](https://www.lupinum.com){target=\"_blank\"}, I live out my enthusiasm for cool digital solutions as a web developer and designer 🧩🌐.\n:::\n::\n\n## Vulkanrot\n\nThe name Vulkanrot comes from the **volcano-red color of our beehives**. From the very beginning, we have painted all our hives with a boiled linseed oil finish called \"Vulkanrot\" to protect the wood. We simply like the bright red towers that grow taller, especially in summer with the many honey supers - they are a real eye-catcher 😄.\n\n::ginko-layout\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j975458c0bx821dm0pqfd6p1b581mm6h\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/1f503458-9f0a-432f-b117-6291ebdee69a\" alt=\"Our volcano-red beehives in the evening sun\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n:::ginko-column\n:image{id=\"j975ndj1fja78h49q8xvgpyq6d81nzhe\" src=\"https://api.ginko-cms.com/api/storage/c44cd1d8-2f52-4cb9-b6d3-860a336d32be\" alt=\"Honeybees with pollen baskets at the entrance of their hive\" width=\"1742\" height=\"1080\"}\n:::\n::","published",1772006980624,{"prev":67,"next":68},{"title":11,"path":13},{"title":21,"path":23},1776862126455]
