BEEKEEPING REVOLUTION - THE WORLD'S FIRST SPECIES CONSERVATION PROGRAM FOR HONEY BEES
For 45 million years, state-forming honey bees have carried a large part of our ecosystem on their wings. Natural selection has ensured that only the best-adapted bee colonies have survived this long evolutionary period. Torben Schiffer documents how and why these fascinating insects still survive in nature today, far away from human intervention, and contrasts the common beekeeping conditions with the free way of life. He makes an urgent plea for a species protection program for this key species. Based on his observations, he developed the world's first concept for species-appropriate, treatment-free beekeeping.
