Honey by de Buedemle\u00ebr<\/h1>\n

We care about nature!<\/h2>\n

When Den Hunnegebier launched an appeal<\/a> for his project “loun eng Bei” (rent a bee) in early 2022, we reacted immediately. We thus became the first partner of this beautiful initiative that the Guirsch family (beekeepers since 2018) has initiated in Luxembourg.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]So we rented a hive and had it installed in the garden of the Guirsch family in Oberpallen.<\/p>\n

We preferred to leave the hive on the land that the Guirsch family has set up for this purpose because it is more convenient for them to take care of it. Indeed, the hives require frequent visits to ensure the good health of the colony which lives there, and the Zone Artisanale of Ehlerange, where our company is located, is not the most appropriate place for our friends the bees.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the small patch of greenery that we have created around our workshop with its plants, its shrubs, its quince tree and its flowering and late-mowing lawn brings a touch of greenery that benefits bees as well as many other insects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”638″ img_size=”250×350″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1657789553962{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We only harvest honey twice a year.<\/h2>\n

Respecting the hard work done by our dear hymenoptera, we only harvest honey twice a year <\/strong>– the first one done at the end of May 2022 was 13kg. The second harvest is scheduled for late summer, which is early enough for the bees to replenish their stock for winter – and this second harvest will not collect all the honey in the hive.
\nThe harvested honey will be offered as a birthday gift to our employees as well as to our customers and partners (while stocks last).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”641″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1657624943232{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_class=”post-smaller-img”][vc_column_text el_class=”al-center”]The youngest generation of Buedemle\u00ebr was able to attend the first harvest of 2022<\/small>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Why did we make this choice?<\/h2>\n

If we made the choice to rent a beehive it is of course because we care about nature, but also to be able – at our humble level – to raise awareness about the major role that bees play in the ecosystem of the entire planet, as well as the major perils that their slow disappearance brings year after year.<\/p>\n

To become aware of these risks here are some figures from a study conducted by the CNRS (National Council for Scientific Research): <\/em><\/p>\n
