Description | In contrast to the common perception of beekeeping at present, we are trying to go on a path of nature-sensitive keeping. An example of such a beehive would mean that the bees are given the opportunity to establish the honeycombs on their own terms. For this, actual treetrunks should be put into use. | |
Direction | Johannes Loriz | |
Here's the result: A beehive out of wood. The material is poplar wood from our own trees, hollowed out inside so that sufficient space for open activity in honeycomb-builidng is produced. The photo shows the prototype in our experimental phase. | ||
