This led him to great discoveries, for which he is nowadays considered to be a pioneer of modern apitherapy and immunology in Central Europe. He also played an important role in the field of social life; in 1878 he became chairman of the Maribor branch of the Styrian Beekeeping Society. He was also a member of the Slavic Reading Society and an influential member of the Supervisory Board of the Maribor Loan Bank, in the framework of which he financially supervised the construction of the National Home in Maribor.
