HONEYNOOK - interactive educational program on honey bees

From little ones to big ones… can everyone learn by playing?
A playful journey into the world of bees.
All participants in the interactive program are active discoverers and creators. Different age groups are given different tasks which they have to work on together in teams.
By completing the tasks participants gain knowledge and experience about the magical world of bees.
What would happen to the world without bees?
How can we protect them?
Participants learn about the relationship between flowering plants and bees. They get to know the flowers visited by bees.
As part of the program, we will be tasting several varieties of present tools used in an apiary.
The materials fit into the curriculum of kindergarten classes and school lessons.
The Honeycomb Family Playground is an exciting space for family events and festivals.
The goal of our program is
- to emphasize the importance of protecting the environment and animals
- focus on physical and mental health
- and experience the joy and power of teamwork.
How much can we - humans - learn from these tiny creatures?
"If you want to increase your wealth, follow the example of bees. The nectar is collected from the flowers but the process benefits the flowers instead of destroying them. Collect your wealth in a way that leaves the source stays intact so it can continue to grow."
