We are a professional beekeeping family business located in Wilfersdorf near Mistelbach in Lower Austria and care for around 150 clolonies. One branch is honey production for our brand Blütengold®. In our region we only harvest blossom honey in different types (robinia, canola, sunflower,...).
Besides honey business we are also a bee breeding company. Our main focus is on carniolan bess of the 6 Sklenar - lines. Through the last years we could ship our queen bees to customers in more than 10 countries.
Company owner Franz Obendorfer is educated skilled worker and also owns a masters degree in beekeeping. So he has a profound knowledge about bees. The bee farm is managed full time - in peak times 7 days a week. Not just as a hobbiest. This is very important especially for managing the logistic of queen shippments professionally.
Only with a reasonable quantity of managed hives you can do a rational selection. We take care of around 150 colonies for our honeyproduction. This is a great precondition to run significant performance tests and make steps forward in bee breeding.
We live and work in the former domain of Guido Skelnar. He even lived a couple of years in our hometown. Our operating site is located only 7 kilometers away from the famous mating station Hirschgrund. Our queen genetics come from beekeeping master Schleining, more or less the breeding descendant of Sklenar.
