Raw honey directly from the beekeeper. Me

Let’s see if and how the new SF ‘for sale’ works…
And I guess this is not going to be your average ad…

We are hobby beekeepers. Our bees live happily in a 100 years old bee-cottage, between the forest and the cemetery. That is, until the Zurich city government decided last year, that they’ll build housing in the old cemetery adjacent area. So you (and us) have until 2031 to enjoy raw, local honey directly from us, the beekeeper. Afterwards, we decided, with our bees, to abscond. Where, still tbd.

Meanwhile, we offer the wonderful honey of our bees (like any parent with Lake Wobegon - Wikipedia syndrome, our bees are the most beautiful and our honey is the sweetest :smiley: But not the other way around, we have bloody territorial bees, and, as they recognize the beekeepers, they attack merciless for any reason. And for no reason also.

Well, to know if our honey is the sweetest, you’ll have to try it by yourself… yet, ONLY if you live (or pass by) the cities of Zurich or Zug - as we deliver the honey, free of charge, to your mailbox --in a very eco- manner, by bio-bike.

Would you be interested, PM me. And, of course, you can always read the thread about bees and beekeeping if you want to know more about how some people - like us - decide to waste their time! :slight_smile: Bees & Swarming — It is that time of the year again - Daily Life, Swiss News and General Topics - Swiss Forum

p.s. whereas we are ‘hobby beekeepers’, we keep the utmost best practices for sustainability of the bees & ecosystem and GMPs for extraction and rendering. Call it " occupational habit" :wink:

@Izzy, I read about this ban a few weeks ago and thought, “What were they thinking?” Wish it weren’t so and hope you and your bees find a new perch.
