“Beekeeping means hard physical labour that is rewarded by being close to nature and doing something good for our environment.”

László Lefler | Hungary

45-year-old László Lefler runs his family beekeeping business in the Hungarian county of Heves. He founded his business in 2004 on his own initiative. His fascination and enthusiasm for the beekeeping craft were awakened above all by the unique scent of the wax and the beehives.

Today, he looks after around 330 bee colonies in his business. For László, beekeeping is more than just a profession: It is a fulfilling task that gives him the good feeling of actively doing something for our environment. What makes him particularly proud of his work is knowing that by looking after the bees, he is simultaneously helping to preserve the future of our environment.

Spring in the Mátra Mountains

László’s bees collect nectar from fruit trees, hawthorn, rape, acacia and sunflowers in the southern part of the northern highlands. The most important and labour-intensive time of the year is from April to June, and László considers the development of bees and nature in spring to be the most beautiful part of his work.

“Natural bee care and precise, continuous work always bring the best results.”
