What Does It Mean True Ecological Beekeeping?

According Standards Of The Centre For Ecological Apiculture And Natural Apitherapy / Natural Apitherapy Council



Organic / ecological top bar beekeeping in the beginning of a new solar economy  - with cruelty-free beekeeping methods

"Und zwar kündigte Johannes mit dem Genuss von Waldhonig die künftige Sättigung des Volkes mit dem Honig des Felsens Christus an, wie geschrieben steht: „Und vom Fels mit Honig hat er sie gesättigt“ - St. Ambrosius / S. Ambrogio, Patron of the beekeepers, the bees and other domestic animals

"Nature does nothing in vain" Aristoteles (384 - 322 B.C.)

"Per variar natura è bella" - Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1717)

"The noble is animal friendly" Menzius (372 - 289 B.C.)

"Who is doing his business in the sense of a machine, will get a machine-heart" Konfuzius (551 - 479 B.C.)

"What is necessary above all, is, that you are able to call a spade a spade" Konfuzius (551 - 479 B.C.)

 
 
 
 

1. Harmonious Development Of Bee Colonies

In beekeeping considering the character of bees the beekeeper turns one's attention to supporting a harmonious development of bee colonies during the year and its natural way of living.

Unfortunately, this is being neglected in many apiaries - even in organic apiaries.In China apiaries sometimes have a fleet of 120 trucks for the transport of bee colonies. 

In the USA for instance apiaries with 50.000 colonies are nothing unusual. The colonies are being loaded on trucks in units of  500 colonies and are being transported with open flightholes for days and more than 4.000 km. The way of keeping bees in Europe or especially Germany is differnt, but similar regarding frame hive beekeeping (Langstroth, Dadant etc.), also among organic apiaries(!); travelling with bee colonies is also very common; 30.000 km per year is nothing unusual for such an apiary - therefore "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD) may also occur in Europe or Germany.

Making full use of travelling with bee colonies is very common among organic beekeepers; this is a reason why also organic bee produce can be contaminated with pesticides and antibiotics from time to time. More...

Did you know that dying out of threatened spezies costs about three thousand billion  (Brit.) or three thousand trillion (US) Euro? More...

We don't need any further kind of industrial beekeeping methods but beekeeping considering the character of bee colonies - in the age of  "Solar Economy". Frame hive beekeeping and artificial breeding methods come from past age of fossil energy, which is well known for its overexploitation. (Api Review letters, 6, No. 195).

An "industrial" beekeeping as it is also common among organic apiaries leads in connection with high insecticide treatments and genetically modified pollen to strange diseases of the honeybee worldwide. The communication system of the beecolony collapses. So called "Colony Collapse Disorder" and IBDS (Idiopathic Brood Disease Syndrome) are the results. On top of that industrial beekeeping help spreading out new parasites such as small hive beetle which is able to ruin the whole apiary.   (Apicultural Review letters, vol. 6, No. 116-121 and 10, No. 601).

2. Variety Of Flowers, No Agro-Genetic Engineering, no CrisprCas manipulated Plants and other Noxious Pollutants

Beehives are situated in areas with a big variety of flowers growing naturally, outside Agro-genetic engineering areas. States, who are mass producers of genetically modified seeds now have almost no possibility to sell organic honey and bee products according standards of the Centre for Ecological Apiculture (apitherapeutical effective products) - especially if it is an out-of-control process and genetically modified seeds such as rape, soy and maize have run wild, as it happened now in nearly every famous honey-export country of the world. This apply also to areas contaminated with other pollutants like radioactivity or noxious pesticides in fruit farming regions.

3. Swarming Impulse Is Basis For Breeding - No Artificial Queen Breeding

Did you know that most beekeepers, also organic beekeepers (according EU-organic rule, USDA organic program, standards of organic associations) let their queens grow up from worker larvae ("grafting") although it is senseless from the point of view of the spirit of the beecolony, for which it is selfevident that a queen is only a good queen which has grown up from the beginning in a special round queen cell with special queen fodder (gelee royale)? More...

4. No Instrumental Insemination Or Other Artificial Breeding Methods, No Wing Clipping Of The Queen Bee, No Biotech-Bees

Did you know that in many cases beekeepers, also from certified organic apiaries (according EU-organic rule, USDA organic program, standards of organic associations) do not let the queens fly out to their traditional nuptial flight, but carry out artificial insemination of the queen instead? To prevent the queen flying out they clip the wings of the queen. Some beekeepers really think to be on the path of nature by fixing the queen in a special way on the instrument.

5. Quality of Beeproduce: No Ultra Filtration, No Treatment With Heat During Honey Harvest And Filling


Since August 2003 ultra filtration is allowed also in the EU. What does it mean? With the help of this technique it is legal to filter out typical honey compounds - a technique which leads to honey falsification very easily. According standards of the Centre for Ecological Apiculture neither this technique nor heat treatment during harvest and filling is allowed.

Did you know that comb-honey is a produce to which neither mechanical (extraction, stirring procedure) nor heat treatment ("melting") has occurred and which consequently is an product of especially high quality?

Thus there is an increase in popularity regarding comb honey and organic honey comb. But always again checking turns out that in parts 90 percent of the honey comb / organic comb honey is being criticized. For the most part it is imported honey from Turkey for instance, which contains brood and foundation (sometimes containing paraffin and DEET) or is contaminated with antibiotics and beerepellents. On top of that, in many cases you find artificial honey comb, for instance Cassettes made of wood or plastic ("Bee-O-Pac-System" , "Ross-Rounds", "Hogg's-Cassettes", "Romanov"). More ...

Did you know, that not only cars, electronic products, clothing, fresch fruits and frozen (apricots, cherries, strawberries, raspberries), dried fruits such as sultanines,  apricots, haszelnuts, pistacias, olives, are being imported from Turkey by europien, american und asian companies such as VW, Ford, Toyota, MAN, Daimler AG, Fiat, Renault, Robert Bosch GmbH, Sony, Hugo Boss, Maas, Brax, Rapunzel (Bionella), Alnatura, DM, Tegut/Migros, Ferrero (Nutella, Hanuta, Duplo), Aldi, Lidl, Amazon, Alibaba & Co. etc. , but also honey and honey comb? And did you know that each frozen raspberry from turkey is brick for the new aircraft carrier, used by the turks to conquer Cyprus and Greece?

Turkish Honey, enjoyd by Sultans, can be expensive, but is sometimes contaminated with poison from special plants. That is not dangerous for bees but for human beings; they may cause halucinations und madness; these results can be observed at some  türkish sultans in history and also at turkish Presidents nowadays.

Not only milk powder and glycerine (used for cough syrup or mixtures) from China is poisoned, but also bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, perga, beeswax, honey, who are sometimes being imported from third countries. More than 500 People were already killed. (see also chapter 9) 

But also honey comb / organic honey comb from Germany is concerned, if it is not produced according standards of the Centre for Ecological Apiculture. According EU-Rules even artificial foundation in  honey comb / organic honey comb is allowed.

More information and  sources of supply for pure honey comb with natural crystallisation (not heated), pure propolis and pure beeswax from naturally built combs see listing of suppliers and bee produce

6. Beehive Made Of Natural Materials, No Artificial Feeding With Sugar, Syrup, Soy Meal, Milkpowder Or Functional Food


either of straw or of wood or clay. 

Not allowed
according standards 
of the Centre for Ecological
Apiculture are:
Beehive, frames, foundations 
and combs made of plastic,
wired frames,
artificially created beewax foundation,
artificial wax foundation,
fibrocement beehive (cement and asbestos),
polypropylene beehive with ultraviolet-resistant stabilizers,
polystyrene, aluminium
sheets, facing of aluminium on the interior (to prevent bees from chewing soft types of plastic), 
rotating frame beehive,
"skyscraperhive",
"Flow Hive",
Beehive, which divide the colony in fragments (magazines)
 

No artificial feeding with sugar (from Roundup ready sugar beets), syrup (from genetically modified corn or wheat), soy meal, milkpowder or functional food, no "clearing up"

Did you know that most animals such as cows, pigs, hens etc are being fed with Roundup ready soy? As Roundup ready soy contains glyphosate, it is supposed to be one of the most toxic food for human beings and animals. The same apply to Roundup ready sugar beets. Beekeepers are being using it for feeding their bees.

Did you know that most beekeepers take away the complete honey reserves of the bee colonies - also the honey from the border of the combs in the brood areas? They call it the "clearing up"!

Did you know that feeding bees with sugar means feeding with plastik? More...

In contrast to industrial beekeeping and organic beekeeping, feeding sugarmixtures and syrup in apiaries certified by the Centre for Ecological Apiculture, is not allowed. There is left enough honey in the bee colonies for wintertime.

sugarmixtures and syrup used by the majority of beekeepers as winter fodder for bee colonies, contain Glycosesyrupe, which is made from genetically modified raw materials. You can find it in all sweets, marzipan inclusive and even in honey. 

By the way, many beekeepers - also those from organic apiaries - are feeding not only sugar syrup but also soymeal and milkpowder and functional food with artificially added vitamins, proteins, iron and so on. Residuals of sugarfeeding as well as residuals of soymeal and milkpowder can be found in bee produce (honey, beesbread, propolis); it doesn't make any difference if they are contaminated with melamin or genetically engineered ingredients or not. [3][4]

Thus beekeepers - although fighting against genetic engineering - are main supporters of genetic engineering because they use inexpensive sugar syrup and soymeal! On top of that they weaken their colonies by using artificial fodder. More...

On top of that you can find already genetically modified sugar beets. More...

7. Bees In Top Bar Hives In The Centre for Ecological Apiculture Drawing Combs Out Naturally, No Artificial Foundation, No Complete Artificial Honeycomb Made Of Contaminated Beeswax Or Plastic Foundation / Combs, No Artificial Wax, No Pressing-Method

The research programme of the Centre for Ecological Apiculture includes natural living conditions for honeybees in simple hives. Did you know that the Centre for Ecological Beekeeping is the only Institution in Germany where bees are being kept solely in top bar hives and allowed to draw out their combs themselves without frames, in contrast to bees from beekeepers who need to get along with plastic combs ("Flow Hive") in plastic beehives, wood frames, artificial foundation or complete honeycombs made of contaminated beeswax and wire or even need to live in so called "skyscaperhives" together with up to six (!) queens per colony - which is practiced in anti-ecological technique of so called "Pressing-method"? (Api review letters 2006, 5, 70)

Therefore our Standards are eligible to produce products for natural cosmetics, alternative treatment, holistic healing, herbal therapies and natural Apitherapy such as raw honey, honey comb, honey comb with beesbread, propolis, royal jelly as well as beeswax. listing of suppliers and bee produce

Professional beekeepers and experienced organic beekeepers may join: Training and study courses in the Centre for Ecological Apiculture

Organic / ecological beekeeping supplies: It is also possible to purchase a beehive such as a top bar hive constructed according standards of the Centre for Ecological Apiculture - including top bars. You need to inquire if available (Tel. 0049 5652 917899).


9. Bees know how it works

Everybody is able to support a "long lasting fertility in beekeeping" in contrast to success in artificial beekeeping or mainstream organic beekeeping for a short time: become a Member or support honeybees kept naturally without cruelty to animals! More Info

Did you know that food (meat from pork, poultry, rabbit) and even honey imported from China is sometimes so contaminated with ecologically harmful chemicals and animal medicine like Chloramphenicol (destroys bone marrow of children), that the EU needs to stop the import of animal produce, especially honey from time to time?

Did you know that even mainstream organic honey is being heated before filling?

According to new scientific research, agriculture and environment contaminate beeswax only little. The apiary itself is the source for contamination. One needs to attach the greatest importance to varroa exterminators, and waxmoth exterminator Paradichlorbenzol (PDCB). A heightened Coumaphos- concentration in wax can be even toxic to queens. Bad side effects on brood and health of bees can't be excluded also by lower wax concentrations. The accumulation of Varroazides in combwax leads to a kind of „long-term-therapy" of Varroa, which can cause resistances.

For the time being there is no uncontaminated beewax on the European market. Such beewax needs to be imported from Africa - Only in the Centre for Ecological Apiculture and its certified member apiaries uncontaminated beewax is being produced, as these apiaries work completely without foundations and the beewax is harvested from combs drawn out naturally by the bees.

10. On The Character Of Bees, Spiritual Beekeeping

Did you know that the founder of the Waldorfschool and bio-dynamic agriculture (Rudolf Steiner/Phd) considered Apiculture to be so important that he started 1923 lectures "on the character of bees"? For him it was a matter of "long lasting fertility in beekeeping" in contrast to success in artificial beekeeping for a short time. As generally in agriculture, also here apply that it is something different if one gives free play to nature and only bring it on correct tracks or if one carry something artificially in this matter. You can find interesting comparisons in these lectures, for instance worker bees and bloodcells, drones and nerve cells, bees and wasps (bees as in ancient times breeded wasps); he tells us about the importance of insects in nature (more important than pollination is the distribution of natural formic acid); about swarming, which is a crucial need of the bees (linked to bee poison and three infinitesimal eyes on the forehead, about which science didn't find out the meaning until now - but it's not surprisingly as for the time being only 1 % of the bee's behavioral repertoire has been dicovered and documented by scientists)

Everybody should be very much interested in beekeeping, "because more than one thinks human life depends on beekeeping." (More info in distance course No.19 and Centre for natural Apitherapy)
