Simply keep bees for the love of nature: Thanks to the Bienenkiste developed by the ecological beekeeping association Mellifera e.V., it is possible to start keeping bees without much previous knowledge and with little effort. A deep understanding of the bee colony's way of life helps you to enjoy beekeeping in the long term.

The bees build their own honeycombs and can reproduce via the swarming instinct. Beekeeper Erhard Maria Klein explains why this is so important and how to keep bees in a sustainable way. Information about the natural way of life of honey bees, amazing details from current bee research and tried and tested tips from beekeeping practice help to be mindful and to deal with problems and special cases calmly. This makes it easier to decide when the course of nature can be trusted and when interventions are necessary.

A book for all those who want to know more about beekeeping according to nature and for Bienenkiste beekeepers who want to deepen their knowledge.
