Bee Festival in Donauwörth: Discover the world of beekeeping!

On July 13, 2025, it hums and hums in Donauwörth, where a special event takes place in the sign of bees and nature. Invitations to lunch together from 12:00 p.m., visitors lure the site of the Bäldleeschwaige. Not only is the physical enjoyment here, but also exciting insights around the topic of beekeeping and nature conservation.

From 1:00 p.m., the little guests can look forward to a varied children's program that deals intensively with the fascinations of the bee world and nature. At 1:30 p.m. a highlight is waiting for the adults: Dr. Ingrid Illies from LWG Bayern presents her lecture on the subject of "beekeeping in the 21st century - Nature experience beekeeping", which will surely offer some new perspectives on the tried and tested craft.

information stands and lectures

From 2:00 p.m., the information stands on the site open their gates. Here, visitors can talk to various exhibitors and experts who inform them about bees, insects and the art of beekeeping. There is also the possibility to acquire local honey varieties and other products from beekeepers from Donauwörth and the surrounding area. The importance of beekeeping extends itself not only on the honey itself, but on the entire support of biodiversity and pollination, such as explain honey experts.

A second lecture takes place at 3:00 p.m. in the Stadel, where Michael Nachpfle shares his expertise on the topic of "insect and bird-friendly garden". This variety of topics shows how diverse and closely interwoven the topics of bees, horticulture and nature conservation.

courses and lectures on sustainable beekeeping

Events like this are not only entertaining, but also instructive. The bee friend offers regular lectures and seminars on the many facets of the beekeeping and emphasizes the importance of essential beekeeping. This includes respecting the needs of bees and promoting sustainable practices. The demand for biological honey increases, and with it the challenges that arise from it.

In addition, the effort to refresh knowledge about ecological beekeeping should not be underestimated. The principles of ecological beekeeping, such as the absence of chemical-synthetic substances and the choice of their locations according to ecological criteria, are not only a trend, but are becoming increasingly important. It is therefore important that prospective beekeepers and interested parties take advantage of the appropriate training in order to be up to the challenges of modern beekeeping.

An event in the sign of the bees in Donauwörth will not only underline the importance of these small beings, but also help to ensure that awareness of their protection and support grows. Take the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating world of bees and maybe take one or the other idea for your own garden!
