Natural Sciences GEP
Bees are part of mankind’s cultural heritage, making their first appearance 80 million years ago. Today bee colonies are being decimated around the world endangering our ecosystem. Bees are an element in the interactive ecosystem chain; without them certain plants would not be able to reproduce and would become extinct, in turn leading to the disappearance of certain animal species. The course covers all aspects of the bee: how the bee works, beekeeping and the dangers threatening its existence. The bees’ products (honey and wax) are also explored in workshops. Site visits include the Dol Bee Research Institute and museums.
