The development of beekeeping
Starting in ancient times, you can marvel at all kinds of beekeeping equipment in our museum. During our tours, we will explain, for example, why people used to keep bees in skeps instead of the modern hives we use today.
How do bees see? Can the bee actually hear? In the midst of flower meadows, our educational trail leads you through nine stations that engage all your senses in the world of the honey bee.
