For young explorers! Hello, I am "Melli von Hüppelrott," the honeybee queen, and I love to give riddles. Do you want to uncover my secret? Until recently, I lived in the forest, but then I disappeared. What happened to me? You will find out! Clues are available at the info stations...

Great excitement in the bee colony: "Melli von Hüppelrott" is missing. What happened? If you want to learn more about the life of the honeybee and understand how it lives in the forest and with its other residents; if you want to know why honeybees are in danger and what we can all do against it, then you are in exactly the right place: Did you know that up to 60,000 bees live and work in a bee colony? That a single drop of honey is the life's work of a worker bee? Or that a bee colony flies around the earth three times to produce 500 g of honey? You learn all this and much more on Melli’s Bee Educational Trail. It also gives you the chance to experience Melli von Hüppelrott and her companions with all your senses: For example, learn the bee language by touch, look at a flower meadow through bee's eyes, or take on the role of a gas station attendant or guard bee during the "Honeycomb Game."
