Name
BeeKeeping Foundation
country
Poland
Goal
In Lower Silesia, Wroclaw, a beekeeping foundation has been set-up to use the apiary and beekeeping as an educational resource teaching children and adults about the process of making honey, but above all – the importance of bees. The beekeeping foundation now has access to a location at the Capitol Musical Theater in Wroclaw where they are able to keep hives and provide educational sessions. The bees are only a starting point in the discussion about the role and structure of the city as such. The harmony between man and nature in a modern metropolis and, above all, the location of the apiary in the center makes it easier to break through mental barriers concerning the function of urban space.
