Real German honey Wanne-Eickel early harvest

Description

Real German honey early harvest

Our Echter Deutscher Honig Frühtracht from Wanne-Eickel is a real all-rounder with high quality: it is a healthy taste experience on its own or as a sweet spread and is an excellent addition to sweet and savory dishes. Urban beekeeping has also developed into a forward-looking trend in North Rhine-Westphalia. Because in contrast to many rural areas, according to experts, the urban habitats are for the western honeybees Apis mellifera currently much better designed. Thanks to the lush and varied vegetation, there is plenty of food for the busy honeybees in Wanne-Eickel. We have therefore decided to offer our Apis mellifera carnica – a subspecies of the western honeybee – in the early honey and summer honey varieties as honey specialties.

Our early harvest and summer harvest varieties

The name of the variety Frühtracht & Sommertracht declares that our urban bees demonstrably collect the nectar in the same period and in the same region. Our natural honey is absolutely regional and we completely refrain from adding honey that could come from EU and / or non-EU countries.

The Wanne-Eickel early harvest

The color, smell, consistency and taste of the Frühtracht variety are made up of the nectar collected from early-flowering plants. These can be fruit blossoms, garden and meadow flowers, for example. Depending on the composition of the respective crop, the fine honey tastes pleasantly mild, wonderfully aromatic or light and fruity.

Natural Echter Deutscher Honig Frühtracht – enjoyment with a clear conscience

Our honey from Wanne-Eickel is absolutely regional and is elaborately produced by hand. Due to the lush nature and the variety of flowers, we exclusively offer the early honey & summer honey variety. From the beehive, the busy bees travel within a flight radius of three to five kilometers. There they collect high-quality nectar on flowering balconies, avenues, fallow land, roof terraces, gardens, parks, courtyards or traffic islands, for example. Another advantage is that it is generally much warmer in cities. The honey bees are active for much longer and the honey yield is much higher compared to rural apiaries. In addition, the living conditions in city locations are better for the bee colonies. Few to no pesticides are sprayed here and the food supply is guaranteed. In addition, there is no need to worry about exhaust fumes and fine dust pollution. Bees are able to filter the pollutants out of the honey. You can find more information here .

Honey bees are the new pets

Along with cattle and pigs, bees are among the most important livestock. Unfortunately, the number of bee colonies is falling steadily. The reasons for the acute bee deaths are possibly the widespread use of pesticides, monocultures and the introduction of the Varroa mite . In order to counteract this development, the idea of building a city beekeeping in Wanne-Eickel matured. In the meantime, our project has been crowned with success and the yield has become so large that we can market our original Wanne-Eickel honey.

Environmental education made easy

With the purchase of every single glass you support regional kindergartens and elementary schools. We take children and educators into the fascinating world of honey bees. Bees are important to most of our diverse ecological systems. Both wild and honey bees are threatened in their habitats. It is important to us to introduce children to the fragile world of small pollinator insects.

In an informative, playful and creative way, the children not only learn a lot about the biology of bees and their way of life. You will also learn what importance bees have for us humans, to what extent we benefit from their pollination and where we can help so that there will soon be more flowering habitats for wild and honey bees again.

In order to meet the needs of teachers and educators as well as children of different ages, €1 is invested in the development of these project days through the sale of the Echter Deutscher Honig Frühtracht – 500g jar in order to promote bees in the long term.
