Local Buzz Community Supported Beekeeping

Local Buzz Community Supported Beekeeping An urban beekeeping initiative where anybody can become a member, join hive visits and share the honey through the season. Located in Stensparken. Since 2021.

A low threshold way to start beekeeping at your own pace. Local Buzz is the first and only pure community-supported beekeeping initiative in Norway, with the support of Oslo Living Lab. In this initiative, members sign up to become a shareholder of a beehive, while the maintenance and care is given by the beekeepers. At the end of the season, members share the honey! Community Supported Beekeeping

rests on the same principles as Andelslandbruk:
+ Sustainable practices: Responsible to the environment, both for current and future generations; Maintain and promote the health of ecosystems; Allows a stable income to the beekeeper, and most importantly, a humane income through a prepayment model
+ Shared risk / shared abundance
+ Involvement of shareholders: Enables to connect with food production; Acts as a learning arena
+ Dialogue: Invites and encourages shareholders’ input in decision making: what to produce, how much, when, how.. How to engage, what to do for engagement..
+ Transparent finances
Currently, we are inviting members to join our initiative!

On this special winter solstice day, I am taking a moment to reflect on how the community-supported model (Andelsbirøkterlag) has changed my beekeeping profession for the better in every aspect.

🌞Thanks to the CSA model, small scale food production is ever more economically resilient and socially engaging. It signifies a partnership in possibility, and today, I express my heartfelt gratitude and love to all those who believed in me and embraced this partnership alongside me. 🐝

Through Andelsbirøkterlag, my profession and passion can blend together without compromise. It allows me to uphold my ecological and social commitments, ensuring that my local food production remains ethical.

This autumn, with the generous support of Bydel Gamle Oslo, I organized a members' reunion! Thirty-five members spanning all three years came together, and several were gracious enough to share testimonials. As the seasons change today, I extend a warm hug to each one of you. Here’s to the community! 🍾🎉🌞🌝

Thanks to all our members for a year full of fascinating apiary visits, abundant honey harvests and the great social events we organised together!
This year, the honey flowed abundantly, exceeding our expectations🍯🍯🍯 Thanks to the shared risk/shared abundance spirit of CSAs, each member received a generous 3.3 kg instead of the projected 2.5 kg honey share. 🌟
We greatly appreciate the biodiversity in Oslo where our bees can forage without exposure to pesticides and produce gold-medal winning honey for us! Thank you Oslo kommune, thank you Bydel Gamle Oslo!
We're in awe of honey bees' hard work, resilience, and intricate social dynamics. Here's to more discoveries and adventures in 2024! 🐝🐝🐝
