A course for the curious, nature lovers, and connoisseurs
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of honey bees! In this diverse course, you will gain exciting insights into the life of a bee colony and learn why these little pollinators are so indispensable for our environment.
Theory – Knowledge about the honey bee
• The life and organization of a bee colony
• Important pests and challenges in modern beekeeping
• Basic knowledge of beekeeping
• Products from the beehive and their special features
Practice – Working with a living bee colony (weather permitting)
In the practical session, you will have the chance to get actively involved:
• We will open a bee colony and examine the combs up close
• You will see the different developmental stages – from egg to larva to capped brood
• With a bit of luck, we might even observe a bee emerging
• Together we will search for the queen – perhaps she will reveal herself to us
• We will observe drones, which can also be handled due to their lack of stinger
• Depending on the season, we will check honeycombs: How much nectar has been collected? Has it already ripened into honey? A taste straight from the comb is possible
