Our Beekeeping

We currently have 22 bee colonies with Buckfast bees in Dadant Blatt boxes and about 4 colonies in Mini plus. The bees are diligent and we like to have them around our house. It's nice when the garden hums and buzzes.

Apiaries

We have apiaries at different locations in the Saanenland. Our main location and wintering quarters are at our home in Gsteig. One apiary is in the Gründ above Gsteig A summer apiary is situated a little higher at about 1500 m.a.s. in an idyllic mountain landscape on the Wispile as well as in Alp Arnen at 1800 m.a.s.

Honey harvest

We collect honey mostly in July. The honey obtained is a mixture of the regional mountain flowers and tastes fantastic. It is slowly stirred by us so that it remains finely crystallized.
In addition, we offer Honey directly in the honeycomb as a delicacy, from the organic honeycombs a unique experience as one can otherwise only experience as a beekeeper.
