happy bees, great honey

All our hives were once unwanted colonies

…As it turns out, it is very common for colonies of bees to settle in the most inconvenient of places, like schoolyard trees, house walls, and Telstra boxes, and some beekeepers think it’s too messy to remove those colonies. But not Sven, he thrived on those challenging jobs and he was able to put his experience in the building industry to good use. (we have so far rescued over 100 bee colonies that would have otherwise been exterminated).

And so it came to pass that after 4 months we had 35 hives and Sven had discovered his true calling. Being interested in beekeeping when he was young, but growing up in East Germany, with little opportunity to become an apiarist, Sven had to wait another 35 years to follow his dream.

Anyone watching Sven working with the bees will realise very quickly that he was born for this. He has this innate sense for what he should do next, what a hive needs and calmness around them that is almost zen-like.

The taste of these happy bee's is one not to miss
