Bees Exhibition

What do you think about watching a honeybee collecting nectar on a sunflower? Remember the most famous bee of our time? To “Bee Maja”, the heroine of the animated series. Or think of the delicious, creamy golden and sugar-sweet honey on your breakfast sandwich?

Although the honeybee is tiny, it plays an important role in our diet and affects our lives far more than many people believe.

Whether it’s oranges, apples, nuts, oils or marmalade – the bees play a key role in around a third of the food that we can buy in our supermarkets. Even the tasty fruit gummy bears are hardly conceivable without the use of pollen collecting honeybees.

Even meadows and gardens would be less colorful without the bee. Neither the bright yellow flowers of the dandelion nor roses would spread in our gardens, because they all have one thing in common: in order to develop their flowers, they are dependent on the bees in their role as pollinators.

But there’s more to what you should know about the bee. Did you know, for example, that

80 percent of all flowering plants are pollinated by bees,
Bees are used to diagnose cancer
500 of the world’s more than 20,000 bee species live in Germany?
Bees are the pollinators of the world. An important part of nature and existential for us humans.

What visitors say about the exhibition.

If you want to know more about the bees, visit our bee exhibition. Alone, with your family or your students. There you can expect many discoveries around the honeybee.

We promise you, it’s worth it.
