the essential Denis Roumat works in Cazes-Mondenard, in Pays de Serres (Tarn-et-Garonne), north of Montauban. He calls himself a beekeeper with passion and a harvester of emotions. Encounter.
Nearly 3 million Cazéennes are not on the electoral lists or registered; Those are the
bees by Denis Roumat, unconditional enthusiast of his “babies”. He even admits that he knows for whom and why he gets up every morning.
He tells us: “The beekeeping that I practice as a professional is the polar opposite of beekeeping which tends to become widespread. Whether it is practiced with 200 hives like me or with 1,000 and more, beekeeping does not escape productivism. The bee is then considered as a production tool.
Here, she is the queen, assures the expert. we believe it. DDM – Adèle Mette
For this beekeeping which tends to become widespread, the living has little or no interest. In my case, respect for the living, the product, the profession, are essential. What is just as important? respect for the consumer.
Pot puns
Guaranteed to consume an ethical product with high taste value, without any addition other than all the passion I have for my profession and for the bees which produce this wonderful product… honey.
He calls himself a beekeeper with passion and a harvester of emotions. Denis prefers to stay small and pamper his bees. He is not riding the organic trend either. He has been living organically for years, and it is obvious for him to benefit his bees. Even if they do not necessarily return it to him since he does not yet make a living from it despite his many years as a beekeeper, undoubtedly because of his demands regarding the well-being of his protégés and their environment.
Soon a book?
He has always loved playing with words and all his honeys have names that are play on words, but not only that, they all have a precise and very sought-after meaning. Up to you.
You will find Denis in the region’s markets (you can come with your pot, he will fill it), in various regional shops and on his website Le rucher du Coustal.
An idea for a children’s book illustrated with watercolors floats in the autumn air of Tarn-et-Garonne and given his passion and his ability to convey, we can bet that this book will be different from all those published so far on the bees. We are looking forward to it.
