Natural Beekeeping (Bee-Centered)
Natural beekeeping (wesensgemäße Bienenhaltung) focuses on the bee colony as a superorganism and respects its natural behaviors. Core principles include natural comb building, swarm reproduction, no queen excluders, and no artificial queen rearing. It is promoted by organizations like Mellifera e.V. and forms the basis of Demeter beekeeping.
