We are not only committed to sustainable energy, but also to a sustainable ecosystem. There is no future without bees - which is why we are committed to preserving and promoting our tiny but indispensable helpers. 

More than 80 % of our native plants depend on pollination by bees. Without the help of these insects, the pollination of pears, for example, would fall by 90 %. Worldwide, one third of food production depends on bees and other insects. Imagine standing in front of largely empty shelves in the supermarket tomorrow: a very realistic scenario if pollination services decline rapidly. The economic value of bees worldwide amounts to several billion euros. For most crops, successful pollination increases production by over 50 percent.

Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappears from the earth, man has only four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more humans.”

A decline in bee populations inevitably reduces natural pollination, endangering our entire ecosystem, our habitat and ultimately humanity itself.

Our honey is made in Germany and consists of honeydew or flower nectar. The bees pick it up with their proboscis in their honey stomach and store it in their honey bladder. When they fly back to their hive, they release it there.

The so-called hive bees, which are located in the hive, store it in the honeycomb cells of the hive, reduce its water content and enrich it with minerals and enzymes, among other things. This is why honey is also known for its antibacterial effect. The bees store the finished honey in the storage cells and cover it with wax to protect it.

Our honey consists of more than 200 ingredients, the natural product contains minerals, enzymes, vitamins and trace elements that have various effects. In general, it is less important whether you use forest honey or blossom honey; much more important, as with our SCHARR honey, is the natural treatment of the honey. As a natural product, it is also known for its healing powers - many call it “liquid gold”, but for us it is one thing above all: a liquid bio-energy boost.

We have adopted 12 beehives from beefuture and thus make an active contribution to environmental protection. Our certified honey is not only antibacterial, but also climate-neutral. By offsetting with climate protection certificates, our SCHARR honey has been made climate-neutral by our subsidiary Fokus Zukunft.

To fill a jar with honey, bees have to fly about 150.000 kilometers, or roughly three times around the world. Since a bee can travel around eight thousand kilometers in its lifetime, that's a whole flock of bees in the air for one jar of honey.
