Food for the bees

We pay strict attention to low energy consumption, economical use of materials and a long service life for our drives. In this way, we minimise the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle.

So it is only logical that we also design our working environment to meet these requirements. Since September 2018, we have provided a home for two bee colonies on the roof of our hall.

Bremerhaven city beekeeper Andreas Bredehorn looks after the 120,000 bees.

Incidentally, we are continuing a tradition of the company's founding family. Grandfather Wilhem Treusch already had four beehives in his apiary in Überau.

Native plants serve as a habitat and food source for bees, butterflies, birds and other animals. Following advice from BUND, the first step was to have a wildflower meadow planted behind the building. There are also apple trees there. In front of our company building there are now perennials such as catmint, evening primrose and others that provide food for insects. Some shrubs, another apple tree and ground cover plants will be planted soon.

In summer 2020, BUND Bremen, together with the "Umwelt Unternehmen" office, presented us with the "Places of Biodiversity" award
