In Fürth, young bees are practicing their first flights as part of a swarm from the local beekeeping association, which maintains around 20 hives at their Mainau site to train new beekeepers. However, beekeeping has become increasingly challenging due to earlier warming periods affecting the bees. Many older members are considering retirement, compounded by ongoing issues like the widespread Varroa mite, which can devastate entire colonies if not managed properly.
