I invite you to Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. There is the "Österreichische Imkereizentrum" (Austrian Beekeeping Center) 300 bee hives, beekeeping equipment, breeding station, trainingcenter for beekepers, run by the Upper Austrian Beekeeper Association. We are specialiced on queenbreeding, we cooperate with ACA (Austrian Carnica Association); this organisation is working on honey yield evaluation and breeding evaluation. We can also show you our mateing statings in the mountains of our county. From Schladming to you have to drive ca. 200 km by car, through a very nice landscape.
