    An important sideline for heathland farmers was beekeeping. Farmers in the Lüneburg Heath have been producing honey since the Middle Ages. Before sugar production began, honey was the most important sweetener.

    Heather honey, light and clear in its properties, is obtained as nectar produced by the heather. When the heather blooms in August, millions of bees fly out to collect this coveted substance from the heather flowers. They transport the precious commodity to the beehive, where the flower nectar is converted into honey.

    Traditionally, honey in the Lüneburg Heath is obtained in so-called Stülpern. These are beehives that are woven from willow and sealed with cow dung.

        Shelter for the bees, unfortunately no longer with the typical beehives, but with modern boxes for the bee colonies.
