Sweet Energizer – First honey harvest from our own bees
Floß, September 25, 2024. We are proud to present the first two harvests of our “Sweet Energizer” honey! After two bee colonies with a total of 60,000 bees settled on our wildflower meadow in April, our beekeeper was recently able to extract the first honey of the year after intensive care. 120 jars of our creamy or golden clear spring and summer blossom honey are now available for sale to our employees.
And best of all, we are already planning a third bee colony, because despite the bee-unfriendly spring weather, our hard-working nectar collectors have developed really well.
We are already looking forward to many more Sweet Energizers!
