Beekeeping is a fascinating hobby for young and old. It is particularly popular by retirees as it represents a meaningful and fascinating activity after an active working life. Bees sharpen our view of nature and ecology. New insights enrich your personality. Young people are also increasingly discovering this hobby for themselves. The Burgwedel-Isernhagen beekeeping association is particularly active here, by members taking their beehives to kindergartens, daycare centers or schools. Or the groups come directly to our club ground. We offer beekeeping trial courses for children and young people.
The pollination performance of bees is economically more important than traditional bee products such as honey, wax, pollen and propolis. The Burgwedel-Isernhagen beekeeping association keeps over 1,500 bee colonies. This means an economic benefit of more than 4 million Euro per year. In Germany only around 3% of beekeepers are full-time beekeepers. Most bee colonies are looked after by “recreational beekeepers” with an average of 3-10 colonies. This makes the work of beekeeping associations important.
