First-hand professional knowledge: bee-friendly beekeeping

If the bees are doing well, the beekeeper is doing well too: this is the basis for a sustainable and successful beekeeping culture. The material and emotional yields are interdependent and complementary. Based on the experiences from his own professional practice, Günter Friedmann shows ways and possibilities that every beekeeper - whether professional or beginner - can easily implement. The author is one of the pioneers of organic beekeeping and helped to develop the Demeter beekeeping guidelines. In southern Germany, he runs the world's largest Demeter beekeeping farm - one of the few recognized training companies for the beekeeping profession in Germany. The author conducts seminars in Germany and abroad on organic and species-appropriate beekeeping.

• Sustainable & animal-friendly - to strengthen the "bee ecosystem"
