My name is Thomas Reif, I am 26 years old and together with my family I run a small organic fruit farm with beekeeping in the beautiful eastern Styria.
Even as a child, I enjoyed helping my father with farming and beekeeping, and it was then that my interest in the fascinating world of bees began.
After graduating from HTL Weiz, I completed my training as a certified organic beekeeper at the Styrian beekeeping school.
In 2020 I took over the business from my parents as a secondary occupation and currently manage 3.5 hectares of orchards and around 80 bee colonies.
Beekeeping is a wonderful counterbalance to my technical profession and has now become a great passion.
