Honey
from the Schmersal beehive
“To take care of our planet" is one of our core values. Schmersal is involved in large and small actions worldwide to contribute to the protection of the environment in many different ways. The protection of bees is one of our concerns, which we support with much love and personal commitment, especially at our headquarters in Wuppertal.
By pollinating crops and wild plants, bees make an invaluable contribution to our ecosystem and, of course, to food production. At present, many species of bees are threatened with extinction worldwide, and we are working to do our part to preserve bees and thus protect a valuable part of our environment.
The initiative began in 2019 with the establishment of a bee colony on the roof of the Wuppertal plant. One of our employees, a hobby beekeeper, has carefully selected the site and regularly looks after the well-being of our new employees.
Since that time our first bee colony has settled in well. In fact, the initiative has been expanded and there are now already two beehives on the roof of the plant building. Together with our first bee colony, the newcomers are also eagerly working around the Schmersal plant, collecting nectar from nearby fields and gardens. There are also some flower beds on the company premises which serve as an additional source of nutrients for our bees.
Thanks to our bees, we can harvest around 50 kg of honey per year. The honey is filled into small jars and given to customers and business partners as a promotional gift.
