HI, i m Laurent, farmer since 1987 and beekeeper since 2221, 20 miles north of orleans, in the french plains

i have now about 15 beehives, half of them are buckfast bees, other half swarm i picked up

i no-till farm with a lot of cover crops, so i see beekeeping as a part of the way i farm

big issues here are varroa and asian hornet

Hi Laurent! I would have to agree with you that beekeeping and farming is a win-win. Have you found that production has increased with the addition of the bees? I have about a hectare of fruit growing and engaged in beekeeping mostly to improve pollination.
