Biodynamic Beekeeping

‘David Heaf has prepared this excellent and clear translation, enabling an English-reading audience to access for the first time this biodynamic approach, and translating into modern beekeeping practice Rudolf Steiner’s indications on the essential nature of the honey bee… Plenty of interesting ideas for the thinking beekeeper!’– Bees for Development Journal‘This book is ideal for the conventional beekeeper who wants to convert to biodynamic methods or for the biodynamic beekeeper who wants to learn more.’–Cygnus

Matthias Thun (1948-2020) was an international expert on biodynamic beekeeping with over 50 years’ experience. He held a Masters in Beekeeping and lectured at biodynamic conferences and training seminars internationally.

Matthias lived at his family’s biodynamic homestead in Dexbach, Germany, until his death.
