About

Bernd Dany

Bernd Dany was born in 1933 in Löf an der Mosel
(Rhineland, Germany). He started working with bees when he was only 12 years old. Even back in those early years, one of his regular contacts was Professor Gottfried Goetze from the Mayen Beekeeping School, and Professor Dr. Karl von Frisch, the world-renowned biologist, Nobel laureate (20.11.1896 - 12.06.1982), was a personal mentor for many years.

A highly experienced beekeeper, Bernd Dany is also internationally known as an author of books about beekeeping and bee products ("Pollen Collection Today", "Bee Products for Health", amongst others). He acts as an adviser to some well-known companies, and is a highly regarded expert in the field of beekeeping, in Germany as well as abroad. Extensive lecture tours in a various countries, including Argentina, Guatemala, Cuba and Korea, have enabled national beekeeping associations to benefit from his wealth knowledge and experience, especially in the chemical-free production of apiary products and in combating the varroa mite.

Bernd Dany established an early reputation in the beekeeping world for his important innovations and inventions arising from his work on pollen. More recently, through collaboration with some scientists friends and with Dr. Gerhard Graner from the Laboratory for Chemical and Microbiological Analyses in Munich, he developed "Dany's BienenWoh®l", a bee health product that is in demand all over the world.

"Dany's BienenWohl®" is now widely used by all those who care about the health of their bee colonies to combat parasitic, viral and fungal pathogenic agents.

"Dany's KnabbaStreifen®" (Dany's Knabba Strips) provide a new way of stimulating the cleaning impulse in bee colonies. When used a combined regime with the "BienenWohl®'' solution, these strips promote long-term vitality of bee colonies.

Bernd Dany lives with his family in Munich, Germany. He continues to be devoted to research into new products and innovations to benefit both bees and beekeepers.
