How it works

Look around in your garden, on the balcony, or in the park. Find bees collecting nectar from flowers. Observe how they fly from flower to flower, gathering nectar and pollen.
Explore different types of bees, such as honeybees and wild bees. Pay attention to differences in size, color, and behavior. Did you know there are over 20,000 species of bees worldwide?
Watch how bees pollinate flowers. When they collect nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and is transported to the next flower. This helps plants reproduce.
Learn about life in the beehive. The queen lays eggs, worker bees collect nectar, and drones mate with the queen. Did you know honeybees live in a hexagonal structure?
Plant bee-friendly flowers to provide food for bees. Choose plants with different blooming times so they can find nectar all summer long. Lavender and sunflowers are ideal!
Share your discoveries with friends and family. For example, create a bee information sheet. Help raise awareness about the importance of bees in our environment!
