Organic honey from Bad Wildbad – from the spa park to our breakfast buffet
Together with the Kleine Schwarzwaldimkerei, we bring regional organic honey from Bad Wildbad to our breakfast buffet. Depending on the harvest and availability, a real honeycomb also forms part of our selection.
A partnership centred on bees, nature and genuine enjoyment
With the Kleine Schwarzwaldimkerei, we have found a regional partner that practises organic beekeeping and places particular emphasis on natural materials and keeping the bee colonies in a way that is as close as possible to their natural behaviour. Some of the bees live in Bad Wildbad’s spa park – just a few minutes’ walk from our hotel.
When the harvest allows, we offer our guests a honeycomb at the sparkling wine breakfast buffet. The honey can be taken directly from the comb – and, if you wish, together with a small piece of edible beeswax.

Three perspectives on a regional natural product shaped by many bees, careful site selection and dedicated beekeeping.
Bad Wildbad comb honey
The honey remains in its natural comb structure and can be taken directly from the honeycomb at the breakfast buffet.
A look inside the bee colony
Regular inspections help the beekeepers monitor the development, health and food supply of the colonies throughout the year.
Locations in Bad Wildbad
Sufficient nectar and pollen, exposure to sunlight, protection from the weather and the surrounding environment all play an important role when choosing a suitable apiary location.
From a suitable apiary to our breakfast buffet
A jar of honey or a filled honeycomb represents the work of an entire beekeeping year.
Choose the location carefully
Throughout the beekeeping year, the surroundings need to provide sufficient nectar and pollen as well as suitable conditions for the colonies.
Foraging among flowers and woodland
Depending on the season, weather and location, the bees use different sources of nectar and pollen in the surrounding area.
Harvest with care
Honey is harvested from unbrooded combs in the honey supers. In accordance with the beekeeping approach, honey in the brood chamber remains with the bees.
Taste it straight from the comb
When the harvest is sufficient, the honeycomb is served at our sparkling wine breakfast buffet in the “Rossini” building.
What matters to the Kleine Schwarzwaldimkerei
Our partnership is based on organic beekeeping that focuses on natural materials and keeping the bee colonies in a way that is as close as possible to their natural behaviour.
No wing clipping
Clipping a queen bee’s wings is not practised by the apiary – even though this makes swarm management more time-consuming.
Unbrooded honey-super combs
Only honey from unbrooded combs in the honey supers is extracted. Stores in the brood chamber remain with the bees.
Wooden beehives
The bee colonies live in wooden hives. The apiary deliberately does not use hives made from polystyrene or Styrodur.
Natural pollen content
The honey is not ultrafiltered in a way that would remove components naturally found in honey. Its natural pollen content is retained.
Two selected locations in the Enz Valley
The Kleine Schwarzwaldimkerei currently keeps bee colonies at two different locations in Bad Wildbad.
Bad Wildbad Spa Park
With its meadows, mature trees, landscaped gardens and changing blossoms throughout the year, the spacious spa park provides a varied environment for the bee colonies.

Another apiary is located on the green roof above the underground car park of the Berufsförderungswerk – with an unobstructed flight path and a deliberately planted surrounding area.
Official information on the locationsThe apiaries are working and living spaces for the bee colonies and are not freely accessible visitor attractions. Please approach the hives only as part of an announced guided visit.
