A teaspoon of honey is the life's work of a honey bee. The bee has never been as popular as it is today, because we all associate the fate of bees with our own. 80 % of all flowers are pollinated by insects, the majority of which are pollinated by honey bees. And they do it in the middle of the city - urban beekeeping is the order of the day, traditional beekeeping meets pioneering spirit. This book portrays eight "local heroes" from Germany and Austria who are active in a special way for people and bees.

Honey makes you taste the landscape in which it was collected. A honey from the Allgäu has a different aroma than one from Hamburg or Vienna. In addition to its countless sensory properties, honey enriches our diet: Chicken skewers with honey brittle, pulled duck sandwiches, crunchy salads with honey dressing or heart-warming sweets. The best thing about it: we are doing something good for ourselves!
