In several workshops we accompany the bee year at the Lenbachhaus. We let ourselves be guided by the processes of the bees, researching and observing. The workshops are supplemented by impulses from the exhibitions and are suitable for all age groups. Individual procedures are adapted so that everyone can take part. Because bees concern us all! In the third and final part of our workshop series "Bienenschwärmerei", the material wax takes centre stage.
In autumn, nature slowly comes to rest. The change of seasons is also visible in the beehive: it is a time of generational change, in which the bee colony prepares for the cold season. The bee colonies shrink and enter a phase of rest, in which they live off their stores. The wax combs form the architecture of the beehive: they now provide space for stores and a safe retreat in winter.
