Honey and bees
Long housed at the Jardin d'Acclimatation, our honey bees now live in an educational apiary where they produce their own nectar.
Each of our three hives is home to a colony of 20,000 bees in winter and up to 80,000 in summer.
Every day, these insects, striped in yellow and black, gather pollen from 700 flowers within a radius of 1 to 5 km around their hive. Our bees can thus enjoy the 18 hectares of your park, the varied flora that grows without the slightest pesticide, and venture as far as the Eiffel Tower or the La Défense district. Just like the wind, flies, butterflies and beetles, wild and domestic bees play an active role in the reproduction of flowering plants.
Happy foragers
At Le Jardin, we are offering these foragers an exceptional refuge thanks to a new model of beehive that preserves the ecosystem of these sentinels of the environment and makes non-intrusive observation possible. With these hives, by encouraging melliferous plants and the presence of pollinating insects, we are helping to preserve biodiversity.
