For a shared future - for humans and bees

Beekeeping is in crisis. Environmental toxins, hunger, diseases and over-breeding are weakening bee colonies, and there is talk of bee mortality everywhere. Professional beekeepers David Gerstmeier and Tobias Miltenberger are taking their own approach to overcoming the crisis. They are focusing on methods of natural beekeeping, relying on natural honeycomb construction and reproducing their colonies via the swarming instinct. Even the queen, the mother of the hive, is raised by the colony itself and not artificially bred. With all these and many other measures, they aim to strengthen the vitality of the bees.

For beginners, beekeepers and anyone interested in learning about alternative beekeeping, Books offers a wealth of information and guarantees a new perspective on the natural relationships of bees. It is not a practical handbook, but shows the husbandry methods that are necessary for beekeeping in accordance with the nature of bees. This also includes the special relationship with the bee.
