Johannes & Philipp Ballier · Beekeeping in North Hesse

This is where
our bees live.

In Kaufungen, Liebenau and Kassel.
We care for the colonies — and show you where our honey comes from.

Our apiary in Kaufungen ↗

Part of our region

One place.
A distinct origin.

Gardens in the Losse valley, hives beneath trees and green corners of Kassel: these places are part of our beekeeping. We keep the harvests from each location and season separate. Every jar names its place of origin, so you can get to know it too.

Out in North Hesse

Kaufungen. Liebenau.
And our home, Kassel.

These photographs show our actual apiaries. Each place has its own surroundings, and we keep every harvest tied to its origin.

Our Kassel apiaries, including the Bergpark, are part of the picture too.

Our jars bear the name of their apiary. All sales and collections are handled through Honig aus Kassel. Each jar links directly to the matching honey, where you can make your choice and request a collection.

Here, you can learn about our spring and summer harvests and the differences between them. What is currently available depends on the harvest and remaining stock.

Arrange to collect your honey using the honey enquiry on Honig aus Kassel.

Johannes & Philipp

Two beekeepers.
One passion.

As father and son, we share a love of bees and the countryside on our doorstep. For us, beekeeping starts with the colony: caring for it throughout the year and paying attention to each individual location.
