Immenzit - Archaeobeekeeping and Beekeeping knowledge
My focus lies as well in researching beekeeping in prehistoric central Europe as imparting contemporary knowledge about beekeeping.
A project with research and actual “prehistoric beekeeping“ was implemented in cooperation with the Zeiteninsel - Archaeological Open Air Museum Marburger Land and the Bee Institute of Hessen in Kirchhain. Beekeeping will be “revived“ in five time periods (from the Mesolithic to the Germanic peoples of the 1st century AD) showing beekeeping using beehives recreated in ancient styles. I can offer information, guided tours, display with tools and material about prehistoric beekeeping as archaeologist and trained beekeeper (full time apprenticeship).
Another focus of my work lies in the field of environmental education, biodiversity, habitats as well as sustainability (working with the SDG's).
Fluent in English and looking forward to international cooperation. You can find some more information in English in my exarc member profile.
