The bee and its mission
How does a bee hive work? Who cares for the queen, who builds the honeycomb and which bees fly out to collect nectar and pollen? Through play, the children will learn about the individual members of the bee family and their important tasks.
In a movement game, they will then try out the work of one bee profession in practice (the activity is chosen with regard to the children’s age).
The children will see live bees in glass hives, try out some beekeeping tools and learn about plants in the herb garden that are part of the bees’ forage. At the end, they will take home a small gift in the form of a beeswax candle they have made themselves.

The bee and its forage
You already know about the life of bees; now join us in following them into a world of flowers, scents and changes in nature throughout the year. The children will learn everything bees need for their lives, where they find food and why a diverse, flowering landscape is important to them. Together, we will find out which plants bloom in spring, summer and autumn and how the availability of bee forage changes with the seasons.
In the herb garden, we will get to know fragrant herbs and other plants that bees visit most often. The children will smell them, explore their uses and, at the end, make their own bath salt with herbs from the bees’ forage. They will also learn about other pollinators.
This program can take place in May, June and September.
