All sections

Twelve sections carry the magazine. Each gathers foundational pieces, data modules and reference entries on one subject.

Biology & anatomy

Body, glands, senses — how a bee works.

Dance language, pheromones, vibration signals, swarm decisions.

Varroosis, foulbrood, viruses, bee and comb pests — diagnosis and treatment.

A hundred plant portraits with flowering time, nectar and pollen value.

Single-origin honeys from acacia to silver fir — source, colour, sensory notes.

Propolis, wax, royal jelly, pollen — harvest and use.

Starting out, hives, smoker, hive tool, extractors — work at the apiary.

Mead, propolis tincture, cooking with honey — quantities and timing.

Some 590 species in Germany, mostly solitary and mostly at risk.

Studies from bee science, explained briefly and traceably.

Data module: colony development, work and forage across twelve months.

From artificial swarm to queen cell — the beekeeping vocabulary.
