May month of bees 2021
The whole month of May
May is the month of bees in the Kunsthal! Two bee colonies have been living on the roof of the Kunsthal since the autumn of 2014 to pollinate the surrounding flora in the Museumpark. Plunge into the world of bees during May month of bees and find out how useful these small creatures are and why extra attention is called for. On this page you will find various online activities organised in cooperation with Odin.
