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!
