The 100-hectare farm will have to manage for six months without the senior manager on the tractor. The farmer had driven away after an accident and received a penalty order for it. Since the driver’s license was revoked for six months in addition to a manageable fine for leaving the scene of an accident without permission, he appealed – without success.

"The junior will have to take over for six months", said judge patricia finkenberger at the end of a hearing in the district court. In this discussion, the farmer’s attempt to at least keep his driving license for the tractor failed.

The beekeepers had not expected such a crowd. At the inauguration of the educational bee house at the new location in the eichenweg, the door and windows had to remain open for a while on sunday so that the people standing outside could watch the whole event. The president of the association, stefan ruppenstein, recalled the beginnings and the first supporters of this station, so important for the education and training of beekeepers, which had to move several times. He thanked mayor andreas hugerich and andreas eberlein of the city’s real estate office for their support in finding a site that would be permanent. Now the best conditions could be created to ensure the preservation of the bee colonies, which are threatened by varroa mites and viruses, pesticides and a changed environment with less blood diversity. Without the beekeeper they could not survive. Together with the farmers, they want to improve the structures, said ruppenstein.

The need to work together for nature was also emphasized by other speakers. Anton reinhardt from the nature conservation association described the honey bee as a sympathetic bearer, and since the referendum last year, in which it was the focus, something has changed. This should not be seen as conservationists and farmers going against each other. We want to talk and act together – just as harmoniously as we see three generations united in the small room of the educational beehive at this inauguration ceremony. "The bee can teach us something." the beekeepers’ association makes a valuable contribution to helping people get to know and appreciate these smallest beneficial animals in the world.

2013 will be remembered as a bad year for honey, but nevertheless there will be a sufficient supply for the people of bamberg in november, says the association. Too long a winter, too much rain in the spring and then a long dry heat period without any precipitation have had a massive impact on honey yields, all over germany.

Local beekeepers will offer in the context of the weekly market again different honeys from the french country. Light honeys like blood honeys are very scarce. Karl-heinz ubelacker, chairman of the beekeepers’ association of bamberg and the surrounding area, assumes that the people of bamberg will nevertheless have a sufficient quantity at their disposal in november.

In the fight against political islam, austria wants to expel numerous imams and thus take a much tougher line than germany. Moreover, according to chancellor sebastian kurz (ovp), seven out of 350 mosques will be closed down.

"Parallel societies, political islam and radicalization tendencies have no place in our country," said kurz on vienna.
