Reports
1. A spring time visit to the bees
Ubi apis, ibi salus. Where there are bees, there is health.
(roman proverb)
Not so long ago, May 2018 to be exact, two bee colonies have settled down in the olympic village and, are henceforth growing and prospering in friendly neighbourhood. This project is mainly carried by the here living students and the association of students with support from the Studentenwerk, ODBG and the Olympiawerk.
2. Interview: "Beekeeping relaxes me"
Finally, protection of species has reached the general public. With the referendum on "Save the Bees" almost 1.8 million Bavarian citizens gave their signature to protect the different species of bees. In the residential area "Olympic village" the bees have been let loose - Tammo v. Knoblauch, a beekeeper in the local student's association, is caring for them with lots of love!
