Description

Seestadthonig founder and owner Andreas Bredehorn is dealing with the dying bees’ issues and exploring solutions for producing honey in the city. Beehives are located on many unused house roofs or in areas of company premises. The Seestadthonig shows that it is possible to produce honey almost everywhere and thus to give bees more habitat.

A number of regional companies also has joined Seestadthoning initiative, they design their business premises as bee-friendly premises, thus creating a new place for bees and insects and contributing to bees’ support.

An important component of Seestaed projects is education. Schools and pupils are involved to gain insight into topics related to beekeeping in general and urban beekeeping in particular.
