The beginning of August - at the beginning of the heather blossom - is probably the most popular time of the year for a heather beekeeper. The beekeeper brings his bees to the heathland. But that's not how it works! Here you need a hiking permit, on the one hand from the property owner, then from the bee hiker, who makes sure that not too many bees are in one spot, and then from the veterinary office of the district. You have to prove this with an official bee health certificate that the bees that you want to bring to the heath are free of notifiable diseases.

Up to the middle of the 19th century, honey and beeswax were the heathland farmer's most important source of income, alongside keeping Schnucke. With their bite, the Heide-Schnucken ensure that the heather plants do not become lignified, but remain young and fresh, and they also crush the cobwebs between the heath areas. As a result, bees cannot get caught in it and can pollinate the flowers undisturbed and collect nectar. On the other hand, the tasty shoots of the common heather serve as food for the snails. Since Heidschnucke sheep cannot do anything with honey, humans are the beneficiaries of this symbiosis.
