description: There is currently an estimated 320 organic beekeepers in Germany. Until recently,  there has been no scientific research conducted on the status of the sector. For this  reason, an empirical study was designed to analyse the structure and specifics of  organic beekeeping. 150 beekeepers are practicing apiculture as their main branch of  production and keeping more than 25 bee hives. This corresponds to 3.3% of all  professional beekeepers in Germany. The number of organic beekeepers and hives is  on the rise, with many beekeepers seeing a great potential in the organic honey market.  Of those practicing organic apiculture, 50% are planning to increase production  over the next 3 years.
