The Fascination of Bees | Bee Nature Trail

Come along—discover the world of bees | The Lakeside Park Bee Educational Trail is a project of the City Beekeepers of Klagenfurt initiative in cooperation with the Lakeside Science & Technology Park Klagenfurt. It serves as an out-of-school learning environment where children and teens—as well as interested adults—can experience the fascination of bees.

Through the «Bee» project, the City Klagenfurt Initiative aims to generate interest in bees within the education system and among the general public. In addition, the project seeks to raise awareness of the importance of bees in the ecosystem and their impact on a sustainable environment.

The Bee Nature Trail in Lakeside Park is a project of the City Beekeepers of Klagenfurt initiative in cooperation with the Lakeside Science & Technology Park Klagenfurt and serves as an extracurricular learning site for the project. It can be visited by interested groups under the guidance of an expert. In the workshops, which can be booked by schools, students learn fascinating facts about bees, bee colonies, and their importance to humans and the surrounding natural environment. Working with the bee colony throughout the year is taught in theory and practice in an age-appropriate manner; observations of the colony are conducted through experiential learning, and bee products are made.

In addition to visiting the bee nature trail and interacting with a beekeeper, there is a concise handout summarizing all the important information about bees and beekeeping.

Using the GECKO platform, the competency model outlines the skills that both students and teachers can acquire as part of the project.
