A9949 - THOMAS HAGER - A New Life and a Buzz!
There
are bees on the roof of a school in Vienna. To be exact, the bees
are on the roof of the Adult education centre in Hietzing. And, they
are there because of a man who went to the country and discovered
himself.
Thomas
Hager is Viennese. And, a long time ago, he used to be a business
advisor in Germany. And, his job was exciting. Thomas Hager
travelled a lot, and, in the course of his work,
he not only met very many nice people, but had good fun as well. And
then, one day, Thomas Hager was called to a farm that needed his
business advice. And, off he went. But, Thomas Hager didn't only
find a new client, he discovered a new life as well. And there, far
away on a farm in the middle of nowhere, Thomas Hager's life started
changing. The farmer was a bee-keeper, too.
And,
the bees so fascinated Thomas Hager that they more-or-less
took over his life. He studied them, learned how to look after them,
and found out all about honey and everything else connected with
bees. And, then after 10 years of being both bee-keeper
and business man, Thomas Hager decided enough was enough.
He gave up his job, moved back to Vienna and dedicated his life to
his bees! And, now, 16 years later, Thomas Hager has hives
all over Austria. And, the hives on the roof of the school in Vienna
are his latest. And, of course, from Thomas Hager's bees come very
fine products.
And,
Thomas Hager's products are truly sensational. They range from all
kinds of honey to propolis and many other things, too. And, Thomas
Hager's products are extremely good for our health. Honey not only
helps with the prevention of serious illnesses, it is a healer as
well. In fact, honey has been an essential part of
good healing for thousands of years. And, luckily for us, Thomas
Hager not only produces these products, he sells them as well. And,
his home page is a great place to visit. There, you can not only
find all his products, you can order them, too. His
site is well worth a visit.
There
are hives on the roof of a school in Vienna, and this is good so.
Bees are essential. We would be nothing without them.
And, because of bee-keepers like Thomas Hager, we not only have
wonderful honey, but wonderful gardens as well.
Thomas
Hager. A man who went to the country, discovered himself, and
brought his bees back to Vienna! And, that's good news for us all!
