Bees in the Olympus
Dear visitor,
we are a small community of beekeepers consisting of students from the olympic village and care about our apiary as part of the olympic center association.
Planned in 2017, realised 2018 and grown exponentially since then. We not only supply the olympic village with honey, we also work closely with the Studierendenwerk Munich.
Since our founding, we aim to live in accordance and with respect for nature and to give an understanding of this to visitors. For this we invite students, residents and friends to accompany us to our bees all year round.
Thanks to our many projects no visit will be boring - one time we can show you the young colonies in the english garden, the other time to the queen bee breeders at the Tegernsee or we look at the beehives in a rapeseed field. But not only the honeybee has a spot in our hearts, we deeply care about our indigenous wild bees, butterflies, lizards and birds. During the season we maintain several bumblebee and wild bee nesting boxes. We nurture several wildflower meadows and for our birds we offer specialised nesting and feeding spots. We aim to include the whole olympic village in our undertakings.
Our current honey varieties
Lime tree (Tilia) Honey
In 2022 out honey is again a single variety lime tree honey. Sadly we are already sold out.
2022
This year our girls have produced an immaculate "feinste Auslese" with a second to none water content of 16.6% .
2021
Were especially proud of this one! Not only is it "feinste Auslese", it also has won the highest rank, GOLD 1A, from the german beekeepers association.
Noble creations
Sometimes we also have different specialties. This year, unfortunately, nothing is available.
2021
This year we mixed our honey with chunks of honeycombs, a real titbid!
Recipes
We publish delicious recipes around the theme of bees.
Cosmetics
You can learn to make natural cosmetics from bee products with us.
And more
Candle-making and new courses are also held now and then.
Out of season, we try to inspire with courses on homemade cosmetics, our candles, and honey tastings.
The Beekeeping Community of Bienen im Olymp
Our beekeepers are and will all be trained in cooperation with the Beekeeping Association Munich e. V. for over two years, so they can work practically with a lot of professional knowledge and pass on sound knowledge. In addition, we train internally and externally weekly on various topics.
