LIEB♥BEES IMKEREI
Beekeeping & Oxymel
From my own bees.
Inspired by Nature's Wisdom and Ayurveda.
Beekeeping has been part of my life since 2019 and has become an essential part of LIEB♥BEES. What started with just three bee colonies has grown over the years. Today, my bees live in their beehouse at the edge of the forest, surrounded by meadows, woodlands, and the diverse natural beauty of the Chiemgau region.
But it's not just honey that fascinates me. Propolis and precious beeswax cappings are equally valuable treasures of the hive, and both find their way into my own creations.
One of my greatest passions is Oxymel – a traditional blend of honey and vinegar with a history dating back centuries. For my LIEB♥BEES Oxymele, I use honey from my own bees and combine it with carefully selected organic ingredients, herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices.
My creations bring together two worlds: traditional herbal knowledge from my native Chiemgau and the wisdom of Ayurveda, which I had the opportunity to explore more deeply during my yoga training and travels through India.
Each Oxymel is lovingly handcrafted in small batches, resulting in a variety of unique creations – from regional blends featuring elderflower, rosehip, and sloe berries to Ayurvedic-inspired recipes with carefully selected spices and fruits from local gardens and my Italian garden.
At the heart of everything I create are high-quality organic ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and, above all, the pleasure of enjoying good food and natural flavours.
Honey from my own bees. Selected organic ingredients. Traditional wisdom. Reimagined.

LIEB♥BEES OXYMEL
Ancient Wisdom. Naturally Reimagined.
Honey and propolis from my own beehives. Carefully selected ingredients. Handcrafted in the Chiemgau region at Biohof Liebhart organic farm.
Oxymel, also known as sour honey, is a traditional blend of honey and vinegar with a history stretching back centuries.
For my LIEB♥BEES Oxymels, I combine honey from my own bees with propolis, high-quality apple cider vinegar, and carefully selected herbs, blossoms, fruits, and spices.
I draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the Chiemgau region, traditional herbal knowledge, and the teachings of Ayurveda, which I explored in greater depth during my time in India.
Each variety is handcrafted in small batches, with great attention to detail and a passion for bringing together the diversity of natural ingredients in unique recipes.
Why Oxymel?
Traditional Herbal Wisdom Meets Mindful Living.
As far back as ancient times, the combination of honey and vinegar was valued and used for various purposes in traditional healing practices.
Honey, vinegar, and selected plants formed the foundation of many traditional recipes. Herbs, blossoms, fruits, and spices were combined according to the properties traditionally attributed to them.
This ancient knowledge continues to inspire my LIEB♥BEES Oxymels. I bring together the original recipe, my experience as a beekeeper, influences from Ayurvedic herbal traditions, and locally grown herbs and blossoms from my own garden.
The result is a collection of unique creations that unite traditional knowledge from different cultures with the rich botanical diversity of my home region.
How to Enjoy Oxymel
As a Refreshing Drink
Add 1–2 teaspoons of Oxymel to a glass of still or sparkling water and dilute to taste.
As a Morning Ritual
Stir a little Oxymel into lukewarm water for a mindful start to your day.
In the Kitchen
Whether in salad dressings, marinades, or alcohol-free aperitifs, Oxymel adds a distinctive sweet-and-sour touch to food and drinks.
Oxymel is best enjoyed well diluted. Due to its acidity, regular consumption without dilution is not recommended.

BASIS
Nature Oxymel
Back to the Essentials.
The classic combination of honey, propolis, and vinegar – pure, authentic, and pleasantly sweet and tangy.
For those who wish to discover and enjoy the original character of Oxymel.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Vata · Pitta · Kapha
In Ayurveda, honey and vinegar are viewed differently depending on their properties. Honey is traditionally considered particularly suitable for Kapha, while the sour taste of vinegar is generally associated with balancing Vata and may aggravate Pitta.
URSPRUNG combines sweet and sour flavours. Its Ayurvedic interpretation therefore depends on individual constitution, the recipe, and the amount consumed.
Two Ingredients. Centuries of Tradition. Pure Enjoyment.
LIGHTNESS
Elderflower
Floral. Delicate. Harmonious.
Delicate elderflowers blend with the warm, smooth notes of vanilla, honey from my own bees, and the distinctive aroma of propolis.
This special Oxymel creation brings together traditional herbal knowledge from the Chiemgau region with the philosophy of Ayurveda. Subtle floral aromas, the natural sweetness of honey, and gentle hints of vanilla create a harmonious taste experience.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Vata & Kapha
In Ayurveda, foods are traditionally considered according to their taste and energetic properties. The sweet, warming aroma of vanilla is traditionally associated particularly with Vata, while the light, floral character of elderflower complements this composition.
Local Blossoms. Ayurvedic Inspiration. Naturally Enjoyed.
VITALITY
Elderberry
Fruity. Intense. Full-Bodied.
The deep, dark elderberries blend with honey and propolis from my own beehives and high-quality apple cider vinegar to create a distinctive Oxymel.
The rich, fruity and slightly tart notes of elderberry meet the natural sweetness of honey and the delicate acidity of vinegar. An expressive composition inspired by the treasures of local nature and the traditional herbal knowledge of the Chiemgau region.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Vata & Kapha
Local Wild Berries. Traditional Wisdom. The Rich Taste of Nature.
AYURVEDA
Orange · Cinnamon · Turmeric
Fruity. Warming. Spicy.
The sunny freshness of Italian oranges from my own garden blends with the warm, aromatic flavour of cinnamon and the earthy notes of turmeric.
Combined with honey and propolis from my own beehives and high-quality apple cider vinegar, they create a harmonious Oxymel that brings together fruity sweetness, vibrant acidity, and carefully selected spices.
Inspired by the traditional spice wisdom of Ayurveda and my journey through India, this Oxymel brings a touch of exotic flavours to the traditional art of Oxymel making.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Vata & Kapha
The fruity acidity of orange and apple cider vinegar complements the warming spices. In traditional Ayurveda, however, sour flavours are generally used more sparingly for individuals with a pronounced Pitta constitution.
Sun-Ripened Fruits. Warming Spices. Ayurvedic Inspiration.
BALANCE
Ashwagandha
Earthy. Tart. Distinctive.
The rich, earthy aromas of ashwagandha root blend with the natural sweetness of honey, the distinctive notes of propolis, and the fruity acidity of apple cider vinegar.
Inspired by my experiences in India and the ancient traditions of Ayurveda, this special Oxymel creation brings together carefully selected ingredients for an extraordinary taste experience.
Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, holds a special place in traditional Ayurvedic herbal knowledge.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Primarily Vata
Ayurvedic Tradition. Exceptional Botanicals. Mindful Enjoyment.
INNER STRENGTH
Rosehip · Sloe Berry
Fruity. Tart. Wild.
Vibrant red rosehips and deep, dark sloe berries blend with honey, propolis, and high-quality apple cider vinegar to create an intense, fruity and tart Oxymel.
Both wild fruits are deeply rooted in the local landscape and reflect the richness and natural beauty of the Chiemgau region.
The fruity acidity of rosehips meets the distinctive tartness of sloes. Together with the natural sweetness of honey, they create an expressive composition with remarkable depth of flavour.
Ayurvedic Inspiration – Vata & Kapha
According to traditional Ayurvedic principles, the sour notes of rosehips may be considered balancing for Vata, while the tart and astringent qualities of sloes are more closely associated with Kapha.
Local Wild Fruits. Authentic Flavours. Inspired by Nature.
