The city - a paradise for bees

Millions of bees feel amazingly at home in our big cities. Flowering avenues and front gardens, balconies and allotments offer a rich supply of nectar from spring to late fall. And all without insecticides! Under such ideal conditions, more and more city dwellers are discovering beekeeping as an exciting hobby close to nature.

• Suitable locations in the city
• Beekeeping in a small space
• Proven methods of swarm prevention
• Honey Harvest with simple household appliances

"It was the big city that got me into beekeeping," says Georg Petrausch, who has been keeping his bees on a roof in Hamburg-Altona for over twenty years. The biology teacher also keeps bees in the school garden with children and introduces them to the secrets of honey bees.
