By establishing an apiary, the museum wishes to raise awareness of the decline in bees. Thanks to you, we can counter the major shortage of pollinators in urban areas.


Quand il le faut, certaines abeilles assurent la climatisation de la ruche en créant un courant d’air afin de contrôler la température, le taux d’humidité et de gaz carbonique. Pour ce faire, les abeilles ventileuses se positionnent à la sortie de la ruche et battent frénétiquement des ailes.
