Oberösterreichische Versicherung launched a sustainability initiative as part of the Upper Austria Ladies Linz. Every ace beaten meant a honeycomb for a young beekeeper. At the end of the tournament, 346 aces had been beaten, which the management board of Oberösterreichische doubled to 700 honeycombs. The first honeycombs were handed over to young beekeeper Tanja Humer by General Director Othmar Nagl and Board Director Kathrin Kühtreiber-Leitner.

"As an insurer, we bear responsibility for our customers, but also for our environment. Our aim with this sustainability project was to raise awareness of bees. It is particularly important to us to make a contribution to the protection of bees and the promotion of young local beekeepers with this initiative", emphasises Nagl.

"We are delighted to support and encourage young beekeepers in this way. Because they look after the survival of our little pollinators. Our thanks also go to the OÖ. Landesverband für Bienenzucht, which is actively supporting us with this campaign and will subsequently also take over the distribution of the honeycombs to the young beekeepers", says Kühtreiber-Leitner.

"The collaboration with Oberösterreichische Versicherung and the Upper Austria Ladies Linz as part of this initiative is an important step towards promoting beekeeping and protecting bees in our region. We are delighted to be able to pass on the 700 honeycombs to young beekeepers and thus motivate them", says Herbert Vitzthum, President of the Upper Austrian Beekeeping Association. regional association for beekeeping.

"It's great to see that our Upper Austria Ladies Linz was not only a sporting highlight, but also a lasting highlight in Upper Austria thanks to this campaign. Every ace we hit had an additional, valuable meaning, emphasises Sandra Reichel, Tournament Director of the Upper Austria Ladies Linz.

"I would like to thank Oberösterreichische and Upper Austria Ladies Linz for their support. These honeycombs are a great help and make it easier for me to get started in beekeeping", young beekeeper Humer is delighted
