WHY A DISCOVERY TRAIL?
The honeybee is not only a domestic animal but also a native wild species and an essential element of our ecosystem. On our discovery trail in Vaulruz, we combine environmental education with concrete nature conservation actions to raise public awareness of the honeybee as a wild animal and its habitat.
Over the years, Vaulruz has become a place where various specific projects take place. It is therefore an ideal and concrete location to inform the public, and this is how the idea for the discovery trail was born.
WHAT IS THERE TO DISCOVER?
- Why and how does the colony live in the forest?
- The importance of food sources (pollen and nectar) throughout the year.
- Three cavities in trees, one of which is accessible via a platform.
