Beeken to tradition: beekeeper Kreiner and his unique craft

in the picturesque Region of Almenland, exactly 1.2 km from the town center of Passail, the passionate beekeeper Karl Kreiner makes his traditions bloom. On the occasion of Peter's Day on February 22, he wakes his bees with a gentle knock and a traditional saying. This special practice has a good reason: "You knock and then you hear that they burn up. The bees are wild animals, and the woodpecker is their enemy," explains Kreiner. The distinct noise of the breakout signals that his bees have survived the hard winter well. On February 22, a day of old tradition, the activity in the beehive will be a sign of new hope.

Kreiner started his beekeeping with just one beehive 40 years ago and can look at 100 beehives today. In his self -made facility, he melts the wax of old bees honeycombs in order to make new middle walls from them, which he then releases back into the beehives. The wax reserves also create beautiful candles and artistic figures made of beeswax. As almenland.at , popular products such as Almenland-Pralines, gingerbread and unique honey chocolates are also made in his beekeeping.

a place of tradition and charity

The Kreiner beekeeping, high at 700 m above sea level, not only houses the bee colonies, but also a shower area that provides comprehensive information about the fascinating world of bees and their products. The lovingly designed outdoor area reflects the respectful handling of nature, while the honey shop is open to customers from Monday to Friday. Here visitors can purchase the sweet products on site or conveniently order on the website via the online shop.
